Hi, I’m Sagnik 👋
I'm primarily interested in compilers and program synthesis, but I also make time to explore reinforcement learning and energy-based models in my free time.
After sunset, you’ll usually find me nose-deep in a history book—anything from ancient empires to modern revolutions. If I’m not reading, I’m probably out chasing pavement on a long run, clearing my head one mile at a time. I’ve got a soft spot for brutal workouts and quiet routines, and I genuinely believe a good sweat can fix almost anything. Weekends are for recharging: wandering through random Wikipedia rabbit holes, meal-prepping like a monk, or just planning my next read.
Some things I believe in:
- Complexity is often just poor organization.
- Mastery begins where imitation ends.
- Clarity is speed disguised as patience.
- Curiosity scales better than discipline.
- Abstractions are escape hatches, not destinations.
- You don’t need permission to be excellent.
- The best optimizations start with deletion.
- Most truths are discovered backwards.
- Tools shape thought—choose wisely.
- Nothing works until it works with people.
- Fundamentally, every bottleneck is a skill issue.
I'm also building a digital garden of my knowledge and notes on AI and PL.
