Aside:

Now days I often find myself straying away from building side projects like I did over previous years and think on more theoretical or foundational work, either through formal work or through research.

• On π-Order Derivatives: an expository study on fractional calculus and a collection of interactive visualizations. I attempt to set intuition, describe mathematical foundations, and apply it to various common functions.

Misc: I play volleyball, read (primarily philosophy and fiction), audit courses at Stanford, and hack in San Francisco.
