A Programmer,

Endlessly Curious.

I'm Samario Torres — a one-person operation run out of Planet Earth, specifically Florida, building the kind of products I actually want to use. I've studied mathematics, physics, computer engineering, and computer science my entire life.

My main interests live in space systems and high-density physics — but to relate a little more to the world, I also explore quantitative finance and consumer mobile applications. Day job: AI engineer at Ardley Technologies, where I leverage the latest and greatest in AI to solve software problems in the mortgage industry.

THE STREAM

A running log of things I publish, ship, or find. A public technology entrepreneur's traveler's diary, more or less.

Curiosity is a portfolio strategy
Short essay on why I treat my interests — physics, options flow, topology, iOS — as positions in a single fund. Drafted; not yet shipped. For instance: $e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0$.

Editorial · p. 2

Samario invests curiosity and code in ideas that are weirdly quantitative, unapologetically visual, or too strange not to probe.
