About me
Hello! I'm Ruben, a third-year student in Mathematics and Computer Science at Imperial College London. I am interested in maths, machine learning (especially plotting pretty graphs and reinforcement learning), linguistics (including language learning), and programming. Recently I've been learning about models of memory (such as FSRS 6) used in Spaced Repitition software (like Anki) and have been developing my own flashcard application, experimenting with modelling relationships between flashcards to improve efficiency.
Experience
- I am an undergraduate Teaching assistant for 2nd year computing students, for the PintOS and WACC projects.
- I am an personal maths tutor for 1nd year computing students, planning and running weekly tutorials.
- I interned at Angstrom Sports last summer, a company that finds odds for sports betting markets.

Blog (I post very infrequently but I try to keep my posts interesting)
Scratch :P. From when I was younger. There are some rather fun games!
Cool Stuff
I am just posting things I found cool here. This is just a sample, I keep a much more comprehensive list.
Things that seem like they should be uncomputable but aren't
Cursorless: programming with just your voice (it works surprisingly well)
Magic Mirrorball: a picture of a reflective ball is enough information for you to have a 360 degree view of the world from the perspective of said ball.
Spintronics: a way to understand electricity intuitively.
- Define a function f : Set N → N such that adding or removing a single number from the input always changes the output. It sounds easy but it is definitely not.
