Exploring the World, One Lesson at a Time
A Life of Learning and Explorations
My journey has taken me through mathematics, mechanical engineering, scientific research, software development, teaching, and entrepreneurship. Along the way, I’ve come to see learning as something that extends far beyond classrooms and professional work. It shapes how I approach challenges, explore new interests, and understand the world around me.
Outside my professional life, running has been a constant for more than two decades, from competitive races to my ongoing pursuit of a sub-three-hour marathon. Traveling across four continents, living in different cities, and exploring everything from hiking trails to museums have added other dimensions to that journey.
This website brings those experiences together. It’s a place to document where I’ve been, share what I’ve learned, and follow the goals and discoveries that continue to shape my life.
Explore My Journey
My interests and experiences have taken me in different directions, but each has become part of a larger journey of learning, personal growth, and discovery. From academic research and professional projects to running, international travel, and everyday explorations, the sections below offer a closer look at the different chapters of my life.
Professional Journey
From studying mathematics and mechanical engineering to researching computational fluid dynamics, working in software development, and founding Lifetime Learner, my professional journey reflects a continuing interest in solving problems, building things, and sharing knowledge.
Running
Running has been part of my life for more than 20 years. Through competitive races, injuries, comebacks, and thousands of kilometers of training, it remains one of my most enduring pursuits. My next major ambition is to run a sub-three-hour marathon.
World Travel
Having lived in several North American cities and traveled across four continents, I’ve developed a lasting interest in exploring places, cultures, and history. My journey continues with the goal of visiting all six inhabited continents.
Explorations
Beyond running and travel, I’ve documented experiences ranging from hiking and paddleboarding to cooking, cafés, and restaurants. These interests have offered different ways to discover new places, develop skills, and enjoy everyday life.
Health
My approach to health combines personal experience with an interest in mathematics and data. I document my efforts to improve fitness, manage weight, and better understand the relationship between daily habits and long-term results.
Current Focus
While much of this website reflects past experiences, I’m equally interested in what comes next. This section follows my current priorities in learning, business, running, travel, and building community.
What I’m Working Toward
While much of this website reflects the experiences that have shaped my life, I’m equally interested in the goals and challenges that lie ahead.
Learning and entrepreneurship remain central to my plans. I’m continuing to expand my knowledge, develop Lifetime Learner, and explore opportunities to turn mathematical ideas and software projects into useful products and services.
In running, I’m working toward my long-standing ambition of completing a marathon in under three hours. At the same time, I hope to continue exploring the world, with South America and Australia remaining in my journey across all six inhabited continents.
These ambitions are part of a broader vision for the years ahead, one that brings together professional development, personal challenges, health, and new experiences. I document my evolving priorities in Current Focus and my longer-term goals in Five-Year Vision.
The Journey Continues
Looking back, the most meaningful parts of my journey have not always followed a single direction. From mathematics and engineering to running, entrepreneurship, and exploring the world, each experience has opened the door to new interests, challenges, and opportunities.
I don’t see learning or exploration as something with a final destination. There will always be new questions to investigate, goals to pursue, places to discover, and experiences worth documenting.
This website is an ongoing record of that journey, bringing together the experiences that have shaped me and the ambitions that continue to move me forward.
