Egōmet

I take an interdisciplinary approach to engineering. I create flow by optimising and trimming processes, and I leverage my knowledge and skills by putting my team ahead of myself.

I enjoy predicting the future and I make the most of imperfect information. I take a statistical approach to decision-making.

I have been doing software development almost daily since I was twelve. I have been involved in all aspects of computers and computing. The same quantitative mindset finds inefficiencies and patterns in everything I see.

I like applying my wide array of experiences to find existing solutions to tough problems. I also like throwing out previously unquestioned assumptions in order to find novel solutions that work even better.

I absorb knowledge like a sponge and I solve things like sodium stearate. (Incidentally, I also ensure my macros are hygienic.)

Worked evenings converting free coffee into subject mastery for my students. It is incredibly satisfying to do experiments across time where

\(t_0\) can be summarised with Don't expect too much of me. I hate \(x\), and I have always been bad at it. I just want to pass the course, where \[x \in \lbrace \mathrm{maths},\; \mathrm{physics},\; \mathrm{chemistry} \rbrace .\]

\(t_1\) can be summarised with Oh, wow. I never thought I'd say this but \(x\) is actually fun! At least once you understand what's going on.
