Doing the work was the easy part, hitting Submit was the whole fight

1+ mon, 4+ week ago   (467+ words) I do the work in private without a flinch. Then a form asks me to claim it, and my whole body locks up. Today it was a partner application. Real credentials in every box, 16 years of them. And still, the…...

UFC Underdog ROI: I Tracked 500 Fights to Find Systematic Mispricings

2+ mon, 2+ week ago   (838+ words) "The sharps are cleaning up in the UFC betting markets while casual bettors get slaughtered." That statement gets thrown around sportsbooks constantly, but I wanted to know if it was actually true. What if there were systematic patterns in how…...

The Enemy of Comfort: What UFC Fighter Ian Garry Taught Me About Technical Debt

6+ mon, 3+ week ago   (282+ words) I’ve been following the UFC closely, and Ian Garry’s trajectory always strikes a specific chord with me. He calls himself "The Future," but what truly defines him isn’t the trash talk—it’s his absolute allergy to comfort. He changes gyms,…...

The Toughest Fight I Had This Week… Was With Myself

8+ mon, 3+ week ago   (357+ words) This week I learned something funny (and a bit painful): you don’t always need competitors — sometimes you are your own toughest opponent. I’ve been working since 5:30 AM, doing what I always do: optimizing, tweaking, improving, fixing things no one else…...

Why Mixup Works (Even When It Blends Everything Into Goo)

9+ mon, 2+ week ago   (239+ words) Mixup, introduced in 2018, is one of the oddest augmentations ever proposed. Instead of masking, cropping, or jittering, Mixup generates new samples via linear interpolation: x = λxi​+(1−λ)xj​ y ​= λyi​+(1−λ)yj​ λ∼B(α,α) where B is Beta. Blend…...

Why Cutout Works (Even Though It Looks Like Sabotage)

9+ mon, 2+ week ago   (270+ words) Cutout might be one of the few augmentations that looks wrong at first glance. Instead of perturbing the image in subtle, semantically “safe” ways, like rotation or brightness change, Cutout just… blacks out a chunk of the image. A square....
