About

This site

is a living workspace for Vansh Kumar’s experiments, projects, writing, and notes. Inspired heavily by the concept of digital gardens, it evolves as the graph fills in.

The terrain page is where the garden is easiest to browse: projects, essays, questions, and connected notes as they accrete over time.

I

am Vansh Kumar and the one who sculpts the terrain of this site. I live in Pasadena, CA.

I am a husband, a father, and a generally curious person.

I spend my time pursuing whatever interests me. I was a tech lead & manager at Alphabet in a past life.

Some of my interests:

• Neuroscience (how do we learn?)
• Education/culture (how might we learn?)
• Watching a lot of tennis
• Playing all racket sports – tennis, paddle/pop tennis, ping pong, you name it
• Doing Nothing
• Playing Rocket League
• Staring at trees
• Reading
• Poetry
