hey, i'm prakhesar.
i'm a 24 year old based in Toronto. I graduated with a CS degree 2 years ago, and have been working in software (mostly data engineer/scientist roles for fintech startups) for the past ~6 years.
quick facts about me: this blog serves a few purposes, and they’re mostly selfish
- I like to build stuff, and I want to build more.
- I like to read. here (coming soon…) are some things that have shaped my world view
- fitness & consistency are important to me. I have a ~650 day 'move' streak on my apple watch at the time of this writing.
- I walk, a lot. I wear barefoot shoes too (not the toe ones, but I do have toe socks)
- I strive to write (mostly) every day, mostly in the form of journaling.
- you probably won’t find me on any social media other than X.
- I like to use bullet points and small sections rather than large paragraphs when writing. they help me be brief, and relate loosely connected ideas with each other. a little contrarian, maybe a little illiterate.
- improve my thinking and clarity around topics
- create a positive habit that can bring outsized returns
- find likeminded people over the internet
there’s no agenda here or any single topic i’ve decided to focus on. I might write about fitness, startups, programming, or just life. this is me in the rawest form.
welcome to my little corner of the internet. I hope you enjoy your stay.
