Welcome

If you have somehow stumbled across this site, you are currently looking at a highly over-engineered personal notepad. This is not a peer-reviewed journal, a tutorial site, or a portfolio designed to impress a future employer. It is simply a digital lab book built for an audience of one.

Having spent a fair amount of time teaching the strict, unforgiving logic of computer science, I decided I needed a hobby. Naturally, I chose to unwind with astrophysics, rocket science, and orbital mechanics—fields famously known for being incredibly relaxing and entirely straightforward.

This space is dedicated to whatever physics-adjacent rabbit holes I feel like diving into on any given day. The curriculum is entirely dictated by my own curiosity, and the pacing is strictly "whenever I get around to it." Inside, you might find notes on classical mechanics, half-finished JavaScript gravity simulations, or musings on exactly how much $\Delta v$ is required to leave Earth. It is a place to tinker, to occasionally get the math completely wrong before finally getting it right, and to simply have a bit of fun exploring the mechanics of the universe.

Have a look around if you like, or don't. I'll be in the sidebar, trying to figure out why my simulated rockets keep exploding.
