From First Principles to Intelligent Agents

Hi there! 👋 I’m Nastaran Moghadasi. (In case you’re wondering, Nastaran is a Persian name that means “wild rose” 🌹).

Welcome to my digital notebook. I am an AI engineer and researcher with a passion for peeling back the layers of complex systems.

What I write about

I believe the best way to master AI is to combine building with understanding. This newsletter is where I document my journey across the full spectrum of Artificial Intelligence! From the algebraic roots to the latest agentic applications.

You can expect a mix of:

• Practical AI & Agents: Building real-world applications, exploring Agentic workflows, and deploying models.

• Under the Hood: Accessible explanations of the math and theory behind Classic ML, Deep Learning, and RL.

• Paper Reviews: Critical (but readable!) breakdowns of research papers—what I’m reading, what I learned, and what I think about it.

Who is this for?

Whether you are here for the code, the calculus, or just to see cool AI projects in action, you are in the right place. My goal is to make the “hard stuff” feel intuitive and the “cool stuff” feel achievable.

I’d love for you to subscribe and learn alongside me!
