The Beauty of the Equation

For me, AI and Machine Learning aren't just about black-box abstractions; they are the living application of mathematics. My passion lies in building key algorithms from scratch to reinforce conceptual understanding—from the calculus that drives optimization, to the linear algebra that defines vector spaces, and the probability that governs uncertainty. I strive to build models that are not only powerful but also mathematically sound and implemented from first principles.
