I am Patrick Stevens, a software engineer based in London, England.
|
|
I completed my BA+MMath at the University of Cambridge.

I am very interested in maths and puzzle-solving.
|
|
For instance:
|
|
|
|
* I have one of the [top twenty answers on the Maths StackExchange](https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1681993/why-is-1-frac11-frac11-ldots-not-real/1682008#1682008) by upvotes.
|
|
* On [Hacker.org], I am [laz0r][Hacker.org: laz0r], one of the top 50 users, although I have run out of low-hanging fruit on that site and I haven't returned to it for a while.
|
|
* For three years running, I have participated in-person in the [MIT Mystery Hunt](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIT_Mystery_Hunt), solving with Team Palindrome; if interested, see [captain's write-up from 2019](https://www.ericberlin.com/2019/01/23/mystery-hunt-2019/) and [from 2020](https://www.ericberlin.com/2020/01/22/a-really-absurdly-long-post-about-the-mit-mystery-hunt/). In 2021, [we won](https://www.ericberlin.com/2021/01/19/my-mystery-hunt-2021-wrapup/).
|
|
* I have solved {{< side right project-euler "a number">}}<img src="/images/AboutMe/project_euler.png" alt="Badge indicating at least 185 problems solved on Project Euler"/>{{< /side >}} of [Project Euler] problems.
|
|
|
|
Languages:
|
|
|
|
* F#: this is my day job.
|
|
* Mathematica (recreationally); it's a lovely Lisp-ish thing. At one point, I was very active on the [Mathematica StackExchange].
|
|
* Python: better-than-code-monkey experience. The open-source [Sextant] and [Endroid] are in Python; I contributed to both of these in my dim and distant past.
|
|
* C#: my day job interacts moderately frequently with C# code.
|
|
* Delphi: the language I learned first.
|
|
* Agda: I'm [playing around][Agda] with this one at the moment.
|

I have an interest in rationality, philosophy, lifehacking, and the links between these. I like to play around with words and constrained writing (such as poetry).
