About Me
Hi!
Welcome to my personal webpage. This is the space where I rant, accumulate notes on various topics that interest me and log the things I do. In general, this place is where I regain a sense of personal joy from the collection of walled gardens that is becoming internet.
Hope you have fun!
Work
I’ve been a scientist and more recently an IT worker (I’m a generalist, but mostly Python, if you have to ask). Came here to see my CV? This is no longer the place. But you can always just drop me a mail at: sanyi [dot] personal [at] Google’s mail service.com; mention this website and we can talk.
About the PhD bit: In 2021 I earned a degree in Cognitive Science and Language as part of the Cognitive Biology of Language group, led by Cedric Boeckx (University of Barcelona). I studied the evolution of the Homo sapiens cognitive profile relative to other human species (Neanderthals, Denisovans), from genotype to expression data to phenotype - or at least that was the ambition. Nowadays I barely keep up with the field, to be honest, though I still love to hear about it from time to time.
Interests
Apart from the professional stuff, in my free time I like to play bass. I try to expose myself to different music every day, with uneven success. You can see how that is going here.
At other levels, I enjoy: running, wikipedia rabbit holes, mate, dogs, raw liquorice, sci-fi, caving and climbing, ecology and philosophy, rpgs (virtual and pen-and-paper kinds), cooking. Climate change activism is a topic dear to me.
Blogposts, log & wiki
I log several of my activities as a form of self-accountability. Here’s why.
From time to time I like to write posts about my former research field, technical tips and courses. I don’t add many these days, rather preferring to expand my personal wiki instead, but occasionally more fully formed posts still might end up there.
What’s new?
