 ## What This Blog is About ?
 
 As a researcher, much of [my work](https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=SBW8knEAAAAJ&hl=en) revolves around solving complex problems and publishing the results in academic journals. But along the way, I often explore smaller ideas, test use cases, or discover insights that don’t make it into formal publications.
 
 This blog is my space to share those hidden gems, ideas that may not be “journal-worthy” but still offer value, spark curiosity, or inspire new ways of thinking.
 
-So, whether you’re a curious beginner or an experienced professional, my goal is to provide you with insights, tools, and results that serve as a benchmark for furthers developments.
