Data Science student in Dallas (Plano, TX). I mostly spend my time breaking PyTorch optimizers, building frontends for local LLMs, and over-engineering solutions to petty arguments.
The serious ML stuff:
- C-Optim: Contributed to implementing cautious momentum optimizers. Figured out how to fix C-optim for Muon entirely by accident in my own sandbox.
- mergekit: Contributed to the toolkit based on insights from reading lots of merging papers.
- AlphaEvolveWriting: Worked on an evolutionary system that forces AI stories through ELO tournaments to improve them.
Local AI & Tools:
- BunnyTavern: A fast, local-first web UI for AI roleplay built on Svelte 5 and Bun. Mostly built it because I want to experiment with it in the future.
- SillyTavern-CharacterSimilarity: Uses KoboldCpp's embedding endpoints to run kNN outlier detection and semantic searches on characters. Honestly? My best project.
Cursed math & spite-driven development:
- Gradient Descent Vis: A janky Matplotlib 3D widget I wrote specifically to watch Adam go the wrong direction in real-time.
- Mario-Kart-Calculator: A linear weighted model built over a weekend purely to find what loadout is good. (It is way out of date now and is kind of oversimplified.)
- Daily: Python, PyTorch, Pandas, NumPy
- Currently fighting with: Rust, Mojo, LaTeX
