Welcome to eagankaminetz.com!

Hello, my name is Eagan Kaminetz. I'm going into my fourth year as an undergraduate student at UC San Diego majoring in Mathematics-Computer Science, and I will graduate in June 2025. I was also an intern at BAE Systems, Inc. from June 2023 to September 2024.

Academically, I'm primarily interested in analysis, probability, theoretical computer science, and discrete mathematics. I especially like areas where several of these intersect, such as the probabilistic method, probabilistic algorithms, machine learning theory, and quantitative finance. Despite currently being an undergraduate, I've taken various graduate-level courses (click here for a list, including undergraduate courses), and in January 2024 I attended a weeklong discrete math research workshop (Desert Discrete Math Workshop).

Outside of school or work, I'm an avid linux user who spends a reasonable amount of time tinkering with configurations, dotfiles, etc. In fact, this whole website is generated from org-mode files using emacs. I also sometimes participate in game jams/hackathons, but I'm not particularly proud of the code I produce under these circumstances (you can probably find it if you try really hard though). My less employable hobbies include playing board/tabletop games and surfing.

This site contains a few articles I've written on various topics that interest me, ranging from mathematical finance approaches for personal investing to mundane desktop linux guides.
