Learning Machine Learning by Building It From Scratch in Rust
How I went from using ML libraries to actually understanding gradient descent and simple language models by implementing everything myself in Rust.
Notes on software development, technology, and building things.

A deep dive into how I built a 2D heat simulation — complete with real physics, interactive heating, and glowing steel colors — entirely in Rust.
How I started with simple vector math and ended up with bouncing, colliding particles under gravity — all in pure Rust.
Lust to learn -> fully functioning app in one evening: how I built a simple nutrition logging app using React Native, OpenAI Vision, and Apple HealthKit.
How I went from not knowing Rust to simulating stable planetary systems at high speed using Rust's blend of safety and performance.
How I built a local deployment framework with Docker, GitHub Actions, and a Raspberry Pi e-ink dashboard for real-time monitoring.
