I'm interested in the design of intelligent systems — from the inner workings of SoCs and RISC-V-based architectures to machine learning algorithms that shape how systems perceive and adapt.

I explore how hardware meets cognition: how low-level components interact with learning systems. I often take part in drone competitions in Turkey — not for the drones themselves, but for the systems design challenges they bring.

I'm deeply curious about modern ML — reading papers on language models, diffusion models, and NeRF / Gaussian Splatting. I may not always have the compute to build them, but the ideas alone fascinate me.

Every few months, I turn some thread of curiosity into a project — web, CLI, desktop, or mobile — often as a way to give shape to something I've learned. You can find most of them on my GitHub (amar-jay).

Simply put: From what I know about myself, I’m drawn to things most people avoid—not because they’re impossible, but because they require curiosity and patience. I don’t chase them because I already understand them; I chase them because I don’t. Sometimes I try to build what seems out of reach, and other times I focus on just understanding it. Either way, that’s how I learn and that's who I am.
