Emil’s Digital Garden 🌱
Welcome to my personal knowledge repository—a living digital garden where ideas grow, evolve, and interconnect. As a data scientist and lifelong learner, I’ve cultivated this space to document insights, learnings, and experiences across technology, business, and life.
“A garden is not a building; it should let its inhabitants live, grow, and evolve naturally.”
🎯 About This Garden
This knowledge base represents my commitment to continuous learning and knowledge sharing. Built using the CAE methodology (Create, Add, Enhance), it grows organically through daily reflection and systematic improvement. Each section contains both practical insights and theoretical understanding gained through professional experience and extensive reading.
Current Stats: The garden contains 321 files and 30,608 lines of text. The garden has 307 internal links and 651 links to external sites. I have also written 200+ book reviews.
