Hey I'm Mark! This is a personal project/blog where I record thoughts and stories about various topics. You already knew that, but something you didn't know, the name of this project. It's a combination of Sentient and Centennial. Sentience: I think is just a super intriguing topic, mysterious but also deeply personal. Centennial: Relates to time, history, experience, and celebration. It blends a lot of relevant themes and I thought it sounded cool.
Life things:
Currently, I'm studying computer science at Cal Poly SLO. I'm super passionate about CS, as well as history and psychology, which are also huge interests of mine.
In the field of computer science, ML/AI really interests me the most. But more generally, I just enjoy the struggle to learn how things work, and the act of problem solving and creation through technology.
Apart from that, I stay pretty active. I love basketball, running, swimming, and going to the gym. I also really love cities, space, and the human spirit.
