about

this site is a place I'll use to archive things I create, mostly written or visual content. the title, 'cultivate your garden,' is inspired by my favorite book, Candide by the philosopher Voltaire. in the final chapter of the book, the characters come across an old man who tends to his garden, a metaphor Voltaire used for how he looked at living one's life in a way that concerned itself with a tangible reality through the things and people that surround us every day.

my interests I intend to pursue through this medium include design, writing, chess, photography, history, infrastructure, sports analytics, and public transportation among other things.
