A bit about me

I study Management Information Systems, which lives in the gap between business problems and the technology built to solve them. I like that it’s neither pure code nor pure theory — it’s about making the pieces fit together. Funnily enough, that’s the same mindset that pulled me into building this blog.

Off campus, two things keep me sane. Basketball came first — I’ve played since I was a kid, mostly pickup and the odd intramural run. I’m not the tallest guy out there, so I learned to win with positioning, passing and being a genuine nuisance on defence rather than dunking on people (still working on that part). The gym came later, when I realised that to last more than a quarter without gasping, I had to put in work off the court too.

What ties it together

Basketball, the gym and my degree all reward the same thing: you get out what you put in, and the progress is measurable. A heavier lift, a cleaner jumper, a routine you finally stick to — it all stacks up if you’re consistent. That idea of small, steady improvement is basically the theme of everything I write here.

Why I started writing

This began as my MIS155 project, but I wanted something I’d actually read myself. So much fitness and basketball content online either assumes you’re already an athlete or is trying to sell you something. I write from exactly where I am: a normal student getting a bit better each week and keeping notes along the way. If one person reads a post and thinks “okay, I could try that,” then it did its job.
