Now
Finishing Grade 12 while building, researching, and following questions that genuinely interest me.
Last updated: August 8, 2026
This is a /now page. It tells you what I'm focused on at this point in my life.
Right Now
- Finishing Grade 12 and strengthening my foundations in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and computer science.
- Preparing seriously for competitive examinations while trying to become better at solving unfamiliar problems rather than just completing more questions.
- Building a habit of turning curiosity into experiments, projects, and actual research.
Building
- MechLang — a domain-specific language for representing and rendering organic reaction mechanisms.
- FocusVector — a privacy-conscious browser extension exploring whether observable reading behavior can be used to estimate attention drift.
- This website — an evolving record of my projects, research, writing, experiments, and ideas.
Research
- Investigating why chemistry textbooks report apparently identical electron gain enthalpies for argon and krypton.
- Tracing the historical origin of the reported values through primary literature.
- Using scattering theory to investigate whether there is a deeper physical explanation behind the observation.
Learning
- Artificial intelligence and machine learning
- Quantum computing and quantum information
- Mathematics, physics, and computational methods
- Programming and software engineering
Thinking About
- How to tell whether a research question is genuinely open or simply unfamiliar.
- How computational tools can help investigate scientific questions without replacing physical reasoning.
- Why seemingly simple observations sometimes hide surprisingly deep explanations.
- How to turn curiosity into disciplined, reproducible work.
