2025

2025 was a year of transition. Came back from New York and got to enjoy my final semester as a college student. Met my girlfriend. Went scuba diving with friends and experienced true adrenaline, the strange exhilaration that comes from being in actual danger, knowing that mistakes have consequences. It was refreshing in a way. Everything else fades into the background when the stakes are real. The feeling reminded me of how Alex Honnold describes climbing as something that makes him feel truly alive. The beachside scenery and carefree living were icing on the cake. Went on a graduation trip to Iceland. Standing before landscapes that seemed impossibly vast made me feel small in a good way. All my problems in life felt small. We are all just tiny specks passing through something much larger than ourselves. Started my full time job at an AI startup. The work was gruelling, but it felt important. At a time when everyone was talking about AI, it was an honour to be building and pushing the field forward, working on real products and seeing firsthand how quickly things were changing. I learnt an enormous amount about technology, execution, and the realities of turning ideas into something people actually use. It left me feeling more capable, more relevant, and more excited for what comes next.
