So I’m Davis

This is admittedly, still a bit of a work in progress, but I find that this website is finally in a semi-presentable state!

Feel free to hang around, there might be something you find interesting here.

For a rambling overview of myself, feel free to dive into my “autobiography” or my Digital Den (Obsidian notes vault), otherwise I’ll provide the geostationary orbit-level view here:

I’m someone who tries to consider everything as interesting, since most things are interesting if you look deeply enough. This mindset has yielded me a rich set of hobbies ranging from sports, to photography, to homelabbing.

Academically, I am particularly drawn to continuum mechanics, more specifically as it relates to numerical simulation and CAE. I got OpenFOAM-pilled in my junior year of undergrad and can’t go back.

Reflecting upon my time in industry tells me that I currently do not have the credentials to work on the cool stuff, which is why my primary focus at the moment is enrolling in a graduate program, whether for a master’s or a PhD. I spend so much time reading and listening to material about the bleeding edge, and not enough time applying myself to prove that I can work on it.

I created this blog to encourage myself to publish my work and show that I really am doing things, and that at the very least, I know how to deploy a web application.
