Building

  • Volta — My Rust tensor library and autograd engine. Working on backward pass implementation and tensor broadcasting operations.
  • This site — Continuously improving the portfolio, adding blog content, and refining the design.

Learning

  • Going deeper into ML systems — how training loops actually work, optimizer internals, and efficient gradient computation.
  • Rust ownership and lifetime patterns. The learning curve is real but worth it.

Working

  • Contracting as an AI Model Trainer at DataAnnotation.tech, doing RLHF on LLM outputs for programming and mathematical reasoning tasks.

Reading

  • Papers on transformer architectures and efficient attention mechanisms
  • simonwillison.net for the best articles on AI-assisted development
  • Various ML systems research papers
