Hey, I’m Ghouti — engineer, system builder, and lifelong learner.
This is my evolving lab of ideas — where I connect AI, automation, psychology, and systems design to explore how humans and machines grow together.
Each note here is a seed of thought — a discovery, reflection, or experiment that may one day grow into a full system, guide, or story.
🚀 What You’ll Find Here
🧠 Discoveries
Short, distilled insights from books, lectures, and experiments — ideas that changed how I think or build.
🎬 Reflections
Movie reviews, cultural analysis, and how stories reveal patterns of growth, struggle, and creativity.
🧩 Practice & Problem Solving
Deep dives into problems from engineering, computer science, and life — turning theory into mastery.
🧭 Systems & Experiments
Notes from my ongoing project: building a Solo Leveling OS — a self-evolving system for life and learning.
💭 Philosophy
Over the past three years, I have refined a highly efficient approach to learning, thinking, and knowledge management, grounded in both personal experimentation and proven methodologies. I leverage Tiago Forte’s Building a Second Brain and the PARA framework—Projects, Areas, Resources, Archives—to externalize and organize critical information, keeping my cognitive focus on high-impact tasks.
This is complemented by the Zettelkasten method and tools like Obsidian, which create an interlinked, evolving knowledge system that fosters insight and connection between ideas. My approach emphasizes free learning, open knowledge, open-source tools, and strict data privacy. I prioritize systems that allow community-driven collaboration, automated correction of information, and clear, iterative paths for refinement.
To stay at the forefront of innovation, I make extensive use of RSS feeds to track the latest research papers, posts, and insights from leading creators and thought leaders. This ensures a constant flow of relevant, high-quality information while allowing me to curate, synthesize, and integrate knowledge efficiently.
By combining structured personal knowledge management with open, collaborative, and up-to-date systems, I create a learning ecosystem that maximizes growth, preserves privacy, and ensures that knowledge remains actionable and continuously evolving.
