Turning curiosity into software
I'm Marsha, a programmer studying software engineering at 42 Abu Dhabi.
Before learning to program, I worked as a government economist, evaluating policy interventions using causal inference and large-scale administrative data.
Programming changed something fundamental for me: I can now build the things I wish existed. That shift shapes many of the projects I explore today.
My background in causal inference and experimentation continues to influence how I think about building systems and evaluating ideas. I’m particularly interested in systems that combine rigorous analysis with practical tools.
Today, I spend much of my time building software while exploring machine learning, data science, and developer tools. This website is where I share the things I build and the ideas I’m trying to understand.
Things I’m Interested in Building
Programming has made it possible for me to turn ideas into prototypes. I have a growing list of things I’d like to explore, including:
- Tools that help people reflect on patterns in their lives through personal data
- Software to make causal reasoning more accessible in everyday decision-making
- Small tools that solve specific everyday problems
Outside of Coding
I enjoy:
- Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
- Jigsaw puzzles
- Travel
