About

• I am a software engineer and a writer interested in the interplay between thoughts and constraints, the duality of interpretations and representations, and the nature of abstractions and correspondence between them.

• I am a long time practioner of Vipassana, but I am also a fallibilist with a slight objectivist bent. So I probably have a very different view of meditation than most people. We can talk about it if you want to.

• On this website I write articles about Computer Science, Philosophy, Mathematics, and Generic Life Stuff. Sometimes I also review books that I've read. You can find my programming side-projects on github

• I have a youtube channel on which I stream my work log(live writing sessions, coding sessions, reading/researching sessions, etc).

• If you find anything interesting about who I am or what I do, please do reach out to me. 👇

Reach out to me

• Shoot me a dm or just tweet @rgvrme. I will try to reply as soon as I can.

• I live in Bangalore, so If you happen to be in Bangalore by chance and want to chat, drop an email and include [Coffee] in the subject line, and we can work something out.

• If you are not comfortable reaching out to me directly, you can also anonymously give me feedback

The original designOriginal Design
of this website was a lot more ostentatious than what you see here. As I progressed through the development process of this website, the current design started emerging on its own. For reasons I don't even understand, the current design just started feeling more natural than the one I had in my mind initially. The bare and simple look-n-feel of this site, at least to me, encompasses the essence of all the things I love about the sites I frequently visit — feed-like structure, previews, search with context, contextual backlinks, sidenotes, etc. I am hopeful that you'll love it too. :)

• Transclusion: Allows you to see a partial view of the contents of the website to the right or the left of the margin.
