Diving deeper into software engineering research, exploring new methodologies video interception. Built my first bike!

Finally received my Greencard - excited to get started with my career :). Time to begin interviews and recruiting. Finished Todd Solondz's filmography; so great, my favorite was definitely Storytelling (2001).

Started the new year with a focus on ownership of a research thrust - proving video provenance. Also picked up some new books on urban design, Cities for People by Jan Gehl is great.

Wrapped up the semester and built a few small projects over the break, including some tooling experiments for my homelab. Took time to rest and watch a looooot of films.

Deep into research work - wrapping up my first research full research thrust. I implemented a custom partially homomorphic encyrption algorithm to speed up development iteration. I finished David Lynch's filmography - ending it with Fire Walk With Me alongside a Twin Peaks rewatch. My hot take it that Mr. C is a representation of Dale's true self.

Started the first AMD-funded student software engineering project at the University of Central Florida. A.I.V.A. is an agent-driven framework for automating hardware verification test-benches. Hosted my 5th workshop of the semester - Introduction to Autonomous Vehicle Development - with an attendance of 60 people!
