Tour du Mont Blanc

I can't keep getting away with it

This summer I got a chance to hike the Tour du Mont Blanc over the span of 7 days with my family. We started in Chamonix, hiked between towns, saw beautiful landscapes, and ate the most cheese I think I’ve ever had in the span of a week.

I got a chance to take my friend Carmen’s film camera with me as well as my very own Fujifilm X100VI. I took so many photos. Tag along to see how I fared with minimal training!

LA 2025

Who knew I'd have a sequel to my post on waiting...

I’m excited to share that I’ll be joining UCLA Bioinformatics as a PhD student this Fall! This was a long time coming, and I couldn’t be happier.

India 2025

Where'd I go? What'd I do? How'd I feel?

It’s been a few years since I’ve been back to India. I was here last in 2021, and before that, in 2020 (yes, traveling during COVID was really rough).

India hasn’t changed fundamentally in the last 4ish years. Where it has changed, though, is incredibly palpable. I’m not sure how much of this is me noticing more and how much of it is genuine change. I’m sure there’s a good mix of both.

Sometimes, there is no decision

The hardest thing is to wait

I think everyone makes the realization at some point that they aren’t the main character. That often what we want isn’t what is possible because it requires others to believe the same thing. We’re often waiting for others, and that’s hard.

Welcome - New Year's Eve

I think it's time to start my own blog?

Hello everyone! I decided that, on New Year’s Eve at that, my website needed a makeover and went ahead and used Tucker Siemens’ beautiful Zola based website in order to create my own. I anticipate I’ll want to change this over time to suit my own needs, but I figured I’d start with this for now. I’ve started my journey into Rust and came across his article on writing a TFTP parser in Rust which was beautifully written, well described, and well formatted. That’s the start of my inspiration into writing my own potential series of blog posts like it’s 2005 again.
