I am a software engineer with a great interest in the natural sciences, especially physics. From my perspective, physics is more than just equations and theories; it is indeed an excellent framework that helps us decode and understand the fundamental principles shaping the physical world. Most of my knowledge in the natural sciences is based on my high school education, but I continuously took efforts to advance myself with valuable resources. Coincidentally, physics sparked my initial interest in machine learning (ML) when I had an opportunity to read about the field from a physics book and learn to use applied ML in an astronomy MOOC.

Besides coding and exploring physics-related topics, I sometimes turn to music for inspiration and relaxation. Whether it is in the form of expressive lyrics or purely instrumental ensembles, I appreciate the way music stimulates creativity and provides a break from structured thinking. Throughout history, music has also become a universal language for people of all cultures regardless of distance and time.

My approach to gaming goes beyond entertainment. Thus, I am very selective about the games I play whether they are simulation, puzzle, or adventure, and even those I choose can be quite challenging. I am deeply amazed by their mechanics and designs as they represent a combination of art, technology, and problem-solving. Especially with the advancement of computers, a number of simulation games are able to mirror real-world systems with high fidelity and teach valuable knowledge and practical skills. Exploring how the game mechanics work would deepen my understanding of the systems and appreciation of the creation behind them.

Initially, I had no intention or idea of making any form of public writing. As individuals might have different interpretations of the same concept beyond the provided definition, I believe that I have a unique perspective to share. Through this blog, my purpose is to create a space for reflection, learning, and exploration of a world where the diversity from engineering to art and reality to simulation converges.

Many of the posts were written using the idea of interleaving, which means I tend to mix different topics and may insert information over time. This method gives me the chance to reprocess information, identify similarities and differences, potentially draw new insights.
