Where Formal Thought Meets Classical Inquiry
I live at the crossroads of rigorous mathematical reasoning, macroeconomic theory, and Unix systems engineering. A FreeBSD user by conviction, I believe in the elegance of systems that are transparent, minimal, and well-composed — whether they are operating systems, economic models, or philosophical frameworks.
Beyond the formal disciplines, I am drawn to the deep intellectual traditions of antiquity. Ancient Greek and Latin literature remind us that the most profound questions — about harmony, justice, the nature of number, and the good life — have been asked for millennia. In the Pythagorean tradition, I find a unifying thread: the conviction that the cosmos is structured by proportion, and that understanding emerges from attending to form.
The beginning is half of the whole. — Pythagoras
Domains of Practice
Mathematics
Engaged with the architecture of formal systems — from algebra and analysis to mathematical logic. I pursue mathematics not merely as technique, but as a language of structure that underlies both the natural and social sciences. My primary focus is algebra, particularly Galois theory and representation theory.
Macroeconomics
Studying the large-scale dynamics of economies through the lens of neoliberal macroeconomic theory, growth economics, and game theory. I bring mathematical rigour to questions of aggregate economic behaviour and strategic decision-making.
Unix & Systems
A committed FreeBSD user and advocate for the Unix philosophy. From kernel tuning to shell scripting, I work at the level where software meets hardware — valuing minimalism, composability, and transparency above all.
Intellectual & Personal Interests
Classical Studies
A devoted reader of the ancients — from the pre-Socratics and Plato to the Roman Stoics and the
tragedians. I return again and again to Homer, Euripides, and Virgil, finding
in their works not merely literary beauty, but frameworks for thinking about ethics, fate, and the polis.
The Greek and Latin languages themselves fascinate me — their grammar encodes ways of thinking that modern
languages have largely lost. In reading Thucydides in the original, or parsing a periodic sentence from
Cicero, one encounters intellectual structures of extraordinary sophistication.
I am particularly drawn to the Pythagorean tradition — not only its mathematics, but its vision of the
cosmos as fundamentally rational, musical, and ordered by proportion.
