A Letter to my Potential Employers
The name Sushant is of Indian origin and is commonly used as a masculine given name. The meaning of the name Sushant is often interpreted as “calm” or “peaceful” in the Sanskrit language. It is derived from the combination of two Sanskrit words: “su” meaning “good” or “well” and “shant” meaning “calm” or “peaceful.” 🕉️

I believe in “plaintext everything”, but sometimes it’s nice to see the plain things nicely. I’m grateful to the gh/jackyzh0/quartz project for providing me such a beautiful medium for expression.
Hi! My name is Sushant. I don’t know what to put here that will truly represent who I think I am. But I am sure that this introduction area will reach some sort of steady state in the future.

It’ll take a while for my to properly index my landing page, but there are many many notes I’m working on scattered throughout the ocean. I encourage you all to liberally use the Search function. The hotkey is
Command + K. Additionally, most, if not all, of the notes I’ve currently published are tagged and indexed here.
ls ~/my_brain | grep "real knowledge"Minimizing the friction between typing words in a file to scrolling a rendered static site with copious internal and external links lets me be authentic and creative. Sometimes I struggle with self-doubt and clearly communicating my thoughts. The process of voyaging through, organizing, and presenting my knowledge in this ocean will help me regain my bearings in a world where so many rising tides contend to sweep me off of my feet.
I recently completed my undergraduate degree in Data Science from UC Berkeley. Outside of a few internships, I started my career this summer at a Junior Data Scientist at Influential.co, where I get to mess around with large language models and quite a bit of data genereated from influencers small on large on a variety of platforms.
This ocean will primarily focus on:
- technical knowledge (AI/ML, Programming, free and open-source software, Neovim, etc),
- hopefully some writing (a stab at poetry, reviews of media I consume, reflections on different phases of life and my goals),
- and general notes about self-improvement.
I like the idea of static site generators because they give us an easy and widely-accessible way to connect with others and receive (hopefully) positive reinforcement.
This summer (2024) I’m writing some notes on Computer Security. I’m also studying computer architecture, numerical analysis, and building LLM applications for production. Personally, I have a great interest in UNIX-based design, terminal-centered workflows/productivity, and cooking. Come to think of it, I have a lot to share with the world (maybe represented by the insanely long list of subreddits I’m subscribed to).
I’ve recently started to being a coffee snob, get back into reading, and starting my calisthenics journey.
I’ll be synthesizing my knowledge on these topics daily and bringing them forward to the landing page here once they’re ready. See you around! 🫡
