I'm Arjun.
I'm currently juggling the final semesters of my degree from IIT Madras with a full-time Data Science job in Bangalore.
I like to draw, read short books and watch character-driven stories. I've recently taken an interest in rock-climbing (bouldering), and in improving my health and fitness. I plan to use this space to write about the things I like.
I've tried various things over the years, like – starting a YouTube channel to teach programming, building a weight-tracking app for iOS, a cryptography puzzle game for iPad, and teaching Python as a TA at IIT Madras.
Although developing and making use of AI tools is part of my day job, I share the growing disdain for AI, particularly for its ill use in the creative fields. As such I'm interested by projects like Glaze and in discussions around AI regulation.

I write in Markdown and use Zola SSG to convert it to HTML and CSS. Since I'm allergic to JavaScript, I use just a tiny bit of it to measure page views.
