Hi! I'm Advait Saravade, a
code-writing,
computational math
student at Carleton University and founder of Deep Meditate.
I'm Advait. This is my personal website and blog. While I run a performance-based meditation coaching app, this blog is where I write about my favorite books, entrepreneurship, marketing, and whatever else I want to write about. I'm also a 3rd year undergrad in the Department of Mathematics at Carleton University. Although, I am usually based in the picturesque city of Ottawa, I'll be living in Silicon Valley for most of 2020 to give my best shot at doing something to make a dent in the universe. *cue cheesey music*
And if you want to learn more then read below.
1. I was born and raised in Mumbai, Maharashtra and went to school here and here.
2. After that, I moved to Vancouver to go to University of British Columbia (UBC) for Engineering.
3. While in school, I realised I didn't find joy in engineering, and decided to transfer out to Carleton University to study math and computers.
4. I started my first real business during the summer of my transition between universities - Deep Meditate.
5. Unexpectedly, after 1 year, real people were willing to pay for the app, and so I got a business license in early 2019, and setup shop as Simply Better Apps.
6. All the while, I continue to be a student at Carleton University learning about abstract math, and computers.
And that my friend, is where we are now.

This is how I've grown up. It is how I know 80% of of what I know, and how I can improve it. At the moment I'm learning |

Applied Cryptography
This book is quite the authoritative text on applied cryptography, and is seeming like a great reference manual
rather than a beginners guide to cryptography. I am learning a lot, but not at the pace I usually like.
I plan on swapping this book with another very soon, but it's still going to remain on my shelf, you know,
just in case I want to dig deeper into a certain protocol or cipher. |
