About Alfred
Meet Alfred, my second brain. Why "Alfred"? Well, just like the ever-reliable butler Alfred from Batman, this is my trusted assistant for organizing my thoughts and keeping track of knowledge. While my primary brain excels at logic, problem-solving, and creativity, it’s not so great at remembering everything. That’s where Alfred steps in—a digital repository for all the ideas, books, and resources that inspire me, challenge me, and keep me growing. It’s my way of offloading the mental clutter and staying focused on what truly matters.
