I build machine learning systems from the paper up. Diffusion models, world models, and LLMs reimplemented from scratch, plus the perception systems and apps that put them to work.
A developer and researcher drawn to problems that baffle me. I like brutal challenges and local training, and I focus on model efficiency and optimization, with a lot of time spent on autonomous systems. My best work happens in the space between confusion and breakthrough, where there is the most to learn.
