03 / beyond

Sport, books, and
the rest of me.

What I am like when I am not debugging a training loop.

in motion

Basketball

NBA obsessive. Grew up on Steph and Kobe; analyzing shot mechanics became Laksh.ai. Still play pickup whenever I can.

Formula 1

Every race, every strategy call. The gap between a 1:10 and a 1:09 lap fascinates me the way the gap between 87% and 88% F1 does.

Cricket

Gully cricket in India, Test-match fan. A pace bowler finding line and length is as satisfying as a loss curve converging.

Tennis

Picked it up in Singapore. Big Djokovic fan. The serve-and-volley vs baseline chess match is underrated.

// shoot · the release lab

Find your arc.

Drag the ball back and release. It grades your release angle, the same mechanic behind Laksh.ai.
