About

I share my inspirations here, mostly originating from, or during, the activities I enjoy. It started as a place for sharing programming-related knowledge and open-source projects I had worked on. Currently, I also write about stats, books, and random thoughts.

I began my journey of programming with R in 2017, and it has ever since scaffolded my way up in exploring new things. I was excited about the new world back then and was attracted to other languages. First, it was Python, then JavaScript and web development. I think I’ve now settled on R. Currently, I primarily use R and Stan to build Bayesian models for research. I guess I’ll keep working with stats and modeling in the future.

At times when feeling burned out, I’d go hiking or travel to a distant town.
