Despite what some of my undergrad lecturers would’ve liked me to believe, e-portfolios don’t actually improve your skills. Side projects do. The time, sweat, and tears we pour into those efforts are the real nutrients for growth.

If you wake up in the middle of the night and you’re more alert than you want to be because you want to fall back asleep, try some long exhales through your mouth. This slows your heart rate. It’s a hardwired circuit that works the first time and every time.

Beginning the MSc in Artificial Intelligence at the University of Essex this July.

It’s a broad and thoughtful course — #machineLearning, #intelligentAgents, #numericalMethods, #knowledgeSystems, and a major #research project.

I’ll be sharing my journey here, time permitting.

Charles Babbage, the father of Computing, never saw one.

In the 1830s, he drafted machines no one could build. His tools were pen, paper, and firelight.

The world didn’t have the metal. The gears. The will.

But what he did have? A vision.

One that would take nearly a century to catch up to.

I found a 2014 study that emphasises the benefits of expecting to teach.​

Participants who anticipated teaching retained information better and organized it more effectively.​

This suggests that teaching others the material we study will improve our own understanding.

New to Bluesky, sharing my journey.

I’m a VR/AR engineer building simulations with Unity, now studying up for an MSc in Computer Science. My big question: How can we improve our learning with AI?

Excited to connect and share some ideas here.
