About
I'm Anup Paudel, a graduate student. I use this site as a hub for my corner of the internet, documenting what I'm learning, from coursework and professional work to topics I explore on my own.
The articles here are essentially my notes: concepts I want to remember or reference later. I build tools for my own use too. Most are simple JavaScript utilities, though I'm more comfortable in Python (or a spreadsheet) for anything complex.
I'm really interested in engineering, maths, and coding. Lately my focus has been energy research: alternative energy, efficiency strategies, mixed-integer optimization, and life-cycle assessment. Outside of coursework and work, I experiment with energy-modeling software, read about optimization methods, and try to stay updated on tech and energy trends.
I'm detail-oriented, sometimes to a fault. I fixate on tiny details and I'm learning to let go. Also, I sleep a lot. Like, a lot. If something here resonates with you, feel free to reach out. I'd love to hear from you.
