About Me
Hi. My name is Amir. Thank you for checking out my website.
I'm a builder that likes to create things. My background is in civil engineering but I'm continuously learning about software and data. I'm currently working on the intersection of engineering and software.
- I love swimming and being near the ocean.
- I love reading Hackernews and other blogs I come across.
- I love trying out international cuisine.
-
I love to play chess and all its beautiful variants.
- I love fantasy and art paintings.
- I love photography and traveling.
- I love the power of music - specially peaceful jazz on a snowy day.
- I prefer to play chess on Lichess. Its simple and I love that its FOSS.
- I started around the 2019 pandemic. It took me about 6 months to hit 1600 elo in classical and 1700 in rapid. I then focused on bringing my bullet and blitz up as well.
- It took 2 years for my bullet to go up to 1250 and blitz to go up to 1650
- I stopped playing for a couple years due being busy with work and university.
- I picked up the game in 2024 again and started playing bullet here and there. I started following the late Daniel Narodistky and Aman Hambelton's playlists and was able to learn faster.
- I kept working at it for about 18 months until I reached 2000 elo in bullet and 1950 in blitz.

Music
I love The Hamilton Musical. I love the "My Shot" and "History Has Its Eyes on You" tracks the most. I have linked them below.
'My Shot' from HAMILTON

I love classical music as well. Check out Johannes Bornlöf who made this amazing classical piano playlist.
I also love some persian songs. My favorite is the freestyle track by an artist named Sorena. Check out his album named "Kavir" (Dessert) if you want to get introduced to persian music.
