## Small Models Exploration
Status: In Progress

Building and experimenting with small language models to understand their capabilities and limitations across different domains.

## Language Learning
Status: Active

Active language learning: French (B2), Polish (A2-B1), Spanish (A1). Exploring effective learning systems and spaced repetition.

## Mountain to Climb

## Who Keeps the Drone Up?
Status: Active

An interactive, hand-drawn course that takes a curious beginner from "what is feedback?" to Laplace transforms, poles and PID control, told through a shower that won't behave and a drone that must hover at 2 m.
