Hello, World

If you have somehow found your way here, welcome. This is my corner of the internet.

What This Place Is

There is no grand plan behind this site. It is a personal journal, a space to write things down, reflect on what I am learning, and perhaps look back on someday. It is not a portfolio designed to impress anyone, nor a blog chasing readership. Just me, organising my thoughts into words.

AI and the Way We Work

I have been spending a lot of time exploring AI lately, not just following the news, but actually learning how these systems work and how they fit into daily workflows. It is changing the way I approach problems, and I suspect we are only scratching the surface.

Cogito Ergo Sum

I think, therefore I am.

I recently stumbled into the history behind this phrase, Descartes, the method of doubt, the act of stripping everything away until you find something you cannot deny. Reading through that history was surprisingly meaningful. The idea that the very act of questioning is itself proof that you exist.

It stayed with me. Not simply as a tagline, but as a reminder: stay curious, keep questioning, and never stop learning. The moment you stop thinking critically is the moment you stop growing.

Financial Modelling

I have also started learning financial modelling this week. Not because I have to, but because understanding how money moves through systems feels like a skill worth developing.

I am starting with the fundamentals, three statement models, DCF analysis, scenario planning, and sensitivity tables. The approach centres on efficiency and balance, how do you model something complex in a way that is both accurate and practical? How do you measure effective performance without drowning in noise?

As it turns out, thinking in systems helps considerably. Financial models are essentially spreadsheets with logic, inputs, transformations, and outputs. The same mindset applies whether you are optimising a data pipeline or a balance sheet. Find the bottleneck, measure what matters, and discard the rest.

Meanwhile, Coffee

On a lighter note, I have somehow escalated to a minimum of four espresso shots a day. That is before counting the pre workout. At this point, I am fairly certain I am running on caffeine and sheer willpower.

The dehydration is very real. I should probably drink more water. I will not, but I should.

Until the next one.

Gee
