What I'm doing

• Searching for a full time position.
• Thinking about taking another actuarial exam.
• I'm taking differential equations at a local university.

What I'm learning

• Category theory through a variety of sources, primarily Basic Category Theory by Tom Leinster and these lectures by Bartosz Milewski.
• Real analysis with Understanding Analysis by Stephen Abbott.
• Statistics and machine learning with Introduction to Statistical Learning.
• Computer science principles through the languages Python, R, Haskell, OCaml, Go, C, and Rust.

What I'm reading

• Shape by Jordan Ellenberg, about geometry and how it relates to our lives. His book How Not to Be Wrong is one of my favorites, so I am excited for this one.
