Rebuilding — Day 9–10
This blog is mostly for me. But if you find something here that helps or speaks
Day Summary
Over the last two days, my time has been centered around analyzing and brainstorming the architecture for the intelligent solver I’m building. A small but meaningful win: I’ve begun to identify bottlenecks in the design and thought through potential solutions to overcome them.
Looking ahead, the next 2–3 weeks will be devoted to a deep literature review, and if things go well, I’m aiming to build a small prototype within two months.

The core challenge of this project lies in developing Constraint-Aware Reasoning. It’s a niche problem, not something widely explored, and that excites me. I believe I have a working strategy, and whether or not it pans out, I know the learning process will be worth it.
Reading Update
I’ve also been enjoying time with Murphy’s Machine Learning book. I’m transitioning now into the statistics chapter, but part of me is worried. I’ve yet to truly dive into machine learning itself; I’m still working through the foundational material, and it’s taking more time than expected.
At the same time, I’ve completely dropped coding for now. I simply haven’t had the bandwidth. But this is something I can’t ignore for long, it’s been my weakest area in interviews, and I need to make room for it, even if only a little each day.
A Moment Away from Screens
On the evening of June 21st, I attended a live orchestra performance by the local community. It was beautiful. Being in a hall with nearly a thousand people, soaking in music created from nothing but skill, rhythm, and collaboration, it reminded me that there’s so much to learn from other fields, especially about creative persistence. I’m always amazed that musicians can keep producing fresh work, often without recognition. More power to local communities like this. They keep the soul of creativity alive.
