Building agent systems, microservices, and full-stack product work at Avathon. Mostly AI infrastructure, retrieval pipelines, and platform engineering.
B.S. in CS & Math from UT Austin, now doing the online MS in AI part-time while working full-time. Currently taking Online Learning & Optimization and Deep Learning.
Usually try to be active 6ร a week between lifting, tennis lessons, and cycling. Sometimes I go 6/6, other times I'm at 1/6. I play it by ear.
Recently finished Snowfall and Succession โ currently watching Shrinking. Book-wise, just read Stoner and How Machines Learn. Always something in rotation.

Working across AI infrastructure, internal tools, full-stack systems, and platform decisions โ a lot more engineering-heavy than a pure data science role.

A few things I've built. Click any card for the full story.

Extend a research paper's results using statistical and ML methods learned from an advanced machine learning course.

Spent a summer trying to teach an RL agent to draft better than me. It didn't.

Wanted to actually understand GPU programming instead of just nodding along when people say 'parallelize it.'
Wanted an AI assistant that actually knows what I'm working on โ not another ChatGPT wrapper.

Wanted to actually derive Black-Scholes from scratch instead of just accepting the formula.

Tried to recreate a research paper's fine-grained GPU sync ideas and see if they actually hold up.
How I'd rate my skills... honestly.

A not-very-serious framing of some very real architectural limitations. Four caveman metaphors, the actual math behind them, and why I still wouldn't bet the house on 'never.'

How I built a self-hosted AI assistant that actually knows what I'm working on, using OpenClaw, LightRAG, CouchDB, and my Obsidian vault.

Not sure what this will become yet. That's kind of the point.

AI infra, product engineering, projects, books, blog stuff, whatever.
