The mountains have always called to me. Every trail, every peak, has taught me lessons no classroom ever could.

Mount Kinabalu

The altitude, the cold, the challenge—it pushed me beyond what I thought possible. Standing at Low's Peak at sunrise, I understood something I couldn't before.

It's not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.

— Sir Edmund Hillary

TNBYY Traverse

Three days, two nights in the jungle. No phone signal, no safety net. Just me and the trail.

The jungle answered with something better than confidence—honesty.

— from my TNBYY journal

The same curiosity that drives me into the mountains led me to question our education system and embrace technology.

I entered education with optimism. What I found was a system that fails the students it's meant to serve.

Education & Code

Students memorize, not think. Graded on compliance, not creativity. Kids glued to screens? Don't ban it—teach them to harness it.

So I taught myself to code. HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, AI. Every line is a step toward empowering the next generation.

The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know.

— Albert Einstein
