What am I focused on at this point in life?

Updated 15th July 2023, from Prague, CZ.

šŸ“šResearch & Work


I submitted my thesis the other day! āš”ļø- Now a much-needed break and going back to hobby projects šŸš€Ā (click here)

Work at Hugging Face has also been going quite well! Iā€™ve been running experiments wit,h Text Generation, and weā€™ve got some cool upcoming Text-to-Speech things planned. Oh, and working on a cool benchmark, too šŸ˜‰

šŸ™‹ā€ā™‚ļøVolunteering


The last 2-3 months have been hell-ish primarily because there are only 24 hours in a day. Some recent incidents have forced me to think more closely about where/ how I spend my time and energy.

Iā€™m writing this update while Iā€™m sitting on the train to Prague for EuroPython. Psyched to meet old friends and new ones. Also, to explore Prague.

Fun fact: Prague was the first European city I visited, and was my gateway to Europe.

šŸ§ Mental health


Mental health has been great, I really pushed myself in the last couple of months. Desperately need some consistency with sleep though. It really shocks me how different life feels now versus same time last year.

A lot of this has been because of you, Sof! šŸ§

šŸ”Next steps & ā€œHomeā€


Now that the thesis is done thesis-ing. Iā€™m going to focus on finding a stable environement. A place where I can do fun things all while having the liberty to explore my interests. Not quite sure where thatā€™d be though - but I know itā€™ll be worthwhile.
