Hey there, I'm Tenzin! Welcome to my webpage. I'm glad you found me!
I like programming, writing blogs, learning math, and cooking for my friends. Currently I'm on gap year working as a data scientist. I believe in being way too earnest, silly/playful, and intensely spirited about the things you do.
I spend most of my time outside of work tending to my garden of projects for no particular reason other than as a labour of love; my pursuits have made me certain that making things is fun and good for you. Take a walk through via this site.
## Stuff I've Done
Some projects I've worked on:
I once met someone who could rap the digits of pi for 6 consecutive minutes. They told me their secret was using a memory palace. Years later, my friends and I built loci to explore this idea at a hackathon. I had a lot of fun, also three.js is very cool.
A while ago, I was responsible for annotating sensitive medical imaging data. This is a product of a realization that there is too much friction between maintaining dataset privacy and team annotator collaboration.
Is it better than the standard malloc? Hell no! But it was cool to create, and sometimes, that's good enough of a reason to do something.
I had a lot of fun piecing together the mathematical mechanics behind this neural nets. I also started to figure out what it means to learn something deeply.
This project started for so many reasons. To name a couple, a personal desire to make my highschool a little more beautiful, being bored in Biology and reading an advertisement for garden grants, and wanting to make something that lasts.
