Hi, I'm Divyesh.
Murphy's Law doesn't mean that something bad will happen. It means that whatever can happen will happen.

I'm a curious builder who loves experimenting with technology, exploring ideas, and figuring out how things work.
My journey began in Instrumentation and Control Engineering, but my interest in programming and software gradually led me towards Data Science. I followed that curiosity to pursue a Master's in Data Science at Heriot-Watt University.
Along the way, I've explored everything from machine learning and optimisation algorithms to benchmarking Python against Rust and building my own static site generator.
This website is my little corner of the internet, where I share things I've built, experiments I've tried, and lessons I've learned along the way.
Things I've Built
Some projects start with a problem to solve. Others start with a question I can't quite leave alone. These are a few that have kept me curious.
A Website Built with Its Own Generator
I wanted to understand what happens between writing Markdown and seeing a finished web page. So I built a static site generator and used it to make the site you're reading now. It is still a work in progress, which is part of the fun.
Python, Rust, and the Cost of Doing the Same Work
What changes when two languages tackle the same task? For my Master's dissertation, I explored that question through audio processing, benchmarking, and experiments designed to separate assumptions from evidence.
Learning to Optimise Without a Shortcut
Instead of relying on a ready-made training method, I experimented with particle swarm optimisation to train a neural network. It became a way to explore how simple rules, iteration, and careful testing can lead to surprising behaviour.
What You'll Find Here
I want this site to grow alongside what I'm learning. Some pages will document finished projects. Others will capture experiments, unfinished ideas, or things that finally clicked after a lot of trial and error.
If something here sparks your curiosity, that's a good place to start.
A Little More About Me
There's more to my story than the projects on this page. My background has taken me from engineering into data science, with plenty of questions and detours along the way.
Say Hello
I enjoy exchanging ideas and learning how other people approach problems. You can find me on GitHub or LinkedIn.
A Work in Progress
Much like the projects you'll find here, this website is continuously evolving.
I'm gradually documenting my projects, recording what I'm learning, and experimenting with new ideas.
Some pages are more complete than others, and that's intentional. I'd rather share the process as it unfolds than wait for everything to be perfect.
