About
Fell in love with mathematics at the age of 14 when the teacher derived the formula for the sum of the first natural numbers. Reinvented mathematics, particularly number theory, from first principles. Worked on some of the hardest mathematical problems, such as Goldbach's conjecture, the Collatz conjecture, Brocard's problem, and formulas for primes. Won second and third prize in National Mathematics Competitions. Graduated magna cum laude with a master's degree in computer science and mathematics. Pursued autodidacticism for three years, focusing on history and health. Created an MVP for the first review website for all things concerning self-improvement. Founded the first platform for recreational scientists.
