LeftOvers

My team's submission for ConUHacks 2024. We built an AI powered app that takes ingredients as input, and suggests dishes you can cook with them along with its cook time, difficulty, calories, and full instructions. Check out the demo video.

This Website.

The website you are currently on! I wanted to create a personal/portfolio website that is unique enough to leave an impression and show off my skills.

Animations

I also like to draw. I wanted to be an animator or a mangaka as a child. More of my drawings can be found on my twitter.

Miscellaneous

Silly things I did while bored. Some are high effort projects I spent weeks on, others are goofy memes I whipped up in 20 mins. Wide range of quality.

Books

Here is a compendium of all the books I read and some thoughts I have about them. Sorted by most recently read.

The End of the World Is Just The Beginning

by Peter Zeihan

Very doompilling. Move to USA asap. Peter Zeihan has a really fun way of writing that just draws you in and makes it hard to put down the book. Other times his writing makes you wish he'd stop treating you like a child. There's honestly not much here that he didn't say in his previous book, but the predictions are indeed updated as a lot has happened. Even if you don't like geopolitics, I believe this is a must read.

The Russian Revolution: A New History

by Sean McMeekin

The more I learn about Russian history the less I understand it. This book starts a century before WW1, walks you through the downfall of the Romanovs and the rise of the Bolsheviks, and really shows you just how insane the Russian Revolution was. Something that stood out to me was that near the beginning of the revolution, the aristocrats would wear red ribbons on their chests in solidarity with the protestors. These same aristocrats would have their property stolen and their lives taken by the same Bolshevik protestors they were standing in solidarity with. Also Tsar Nicholas II was a bigger wuss than I thought him to be. The book is filthy detailed and I learned a ton.

The Shah

by Abbas Milani

A little something about Iran because I know almost nothing other than the surface level knowledge. The book talks about the last shah of Iran, his life, and his downfall. Turns out he was just another weak ruler not fit for the throne. His dad was cool though. Also he had a fetish for tall women.

The Guns of August

by Barbara W. Tuchman

WW1 and WW2 are my favourite subjects but I never read a proper book on them, except this one. This recounts the chaotic first month of WW1, and is honestly eye opening. A million moving pieces to keep track of. Makes Game of Thrones look like a children's book.

A New World Begins: The History of The French Revolution

by Jeremy D. Popkin

A fantastic retelling of the French Revolution from like 4 different perspectives. Excellent and absolutely bonkers history. Loved every page of this book. The longer I kept reading, the more insane the revolution got.

Collapse: The Fall of the Soviet Union

by Vladislav M. Zubok

This book is about the fall of the USSR and secondarily, a biography of Gorbachev. Might be one of my favourite books ever and I plan to reread one day. Gorbachev truly was a tragic hero. I wish for history to be kind to him and for us to remember him with fondness. Everything he ever did, unlike his predecessors, was truly for the betterment of his people. He was averse to violence and would reprimand his subordinates if they used force on protestors. Unfortunately he was die hard communist blinded by the ideology.

The Accidental Superpower

by Peter Zeihan

I watched several of Peter Zeihan's talks on geopolitics and demographics so I thought it's only fair I get the full picture by reading his book. This was such a ride. The books is basically about why the US is set up for success and why no matter what, the US will forever remain a superpower. It taught me a lot about history, geopolitics, demographics, and a lot more.

King Leopold's Ghost

by Adam Hochschild

Leopold was the king of Belgium who basically took a huge swath of land in Africa as his own personal property. The misery and death he caused rivals that of Hitler's but few know of him. Very sad but important.

The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich

by William L. Shirer

A filthy detailed book on the history of the Third Reich. I read this book a long time ago but now with the knowledge I have, I recognize that a lot of the information here is contradictory and flat out wrong. However, the guy lived in Germany during the war as a foreign correspondent, so his word should still not be taken lightly. If you really want to read about Germany in WW2, read another book on top of this one.
