hey, i'm vedant

senior at uc berkeley, majoring in applied math and physics, but honestly still figuring out what any of that means.
i spend most of my time procrastinating on problem sets, pondering existential questions, gambling on the stock market, and building side projects that i never finish.
this site is just a digital journal of sorts — mostly for me to keep track of my thoughts. Doomscrolling through excessive amounts of infotainment has filled my brain with a lot of trivia that I tend to bore my friends with. So they can just read it here instead.
#current status
