A Little About Me

I'm a student at Adelphi University where I'm pursuing a Bachelor's in Artificial Intelligence.

I'm a very passionate and disciplined person. Every day (except Saturdays) I wake up at 5:30am to start my day early. I like to engage in deep focus sessions whether it's to study or build a project of my own, and am always looking to optimize my performance.

I genuinely believe I can change the world for the better, and that belief drives my pursuit of excellence.

Thinking Systems

Systems are key to achieving great results, and over time, I've adopted some mental models that help me optimize my thinking. Some of them are:

📡

Signal-to-Noise Ratio

According to a hopefully reliable internet source, we're exposed to about 80GB of data daily. That means that to achieve extraordinary results, we've gotta prioritize the things that at their essence are truly essential to our mission

🧱

Context Block Architecture

I do a lot of different things, and in order to excel at them, I reduce the number of times I switch from one activity to another in a specific time frame, so I'm able to focus better and get the most out of the time I devote to each activity.

🌳

First Principles Thinking

Accepting limits is the easiest way to stifle innovation. Thinking from first principles means decomposing problems to their fundamentals and rebuilding without assumptions.

My Projects

In my free time, I build apps and solutions that either solve a problem or make something work better. These are some of them:
