At the top, you need three mentors—the “deities” who challenge your limits and pull you toward excellence. As the Stoic philosopher Seneca noted, we must model ourselves after those who have already mastered the path.

However, true mastery is only solidified through teaching. By extending a hand to two mentees, you ground your knowledge and “lift as you climb.” This dual-action growth—inspired by Tai Lopez’s Law of 33% and Jim Rohn’s Rule of Five—ensures you are constantly reaching for your potential while anchoring your progress.

Journal

Welcome to my space—a collection of thoughts, experiences, and lessons gathered along the way.
This blog brings together my professional life in
data engineering, analytics, AI, and data pipelines
with the everyday interests that keep me curious and grounded.
You’ll find reflections on learning and problem-solving,
alongside posts about hiking, travel, gardening, cooking, movies, and hobbies
that shape my perspective beyond the screen.

I also write about practical, real-world topics such as
tenancy, rentals, short-term accommodations, and the housing market,
informed by observation, research, and lived experience.
Whether I’m exploring a trail, building a data workflow, or analyzing systems that impact daily life,
my goal is the same: to share insights that are thoughtful, practical, and useful.

This blog is both a journal and a knowledge hub—where technology meets life,
and learning never stops.
