Projects
-
2025 - present LLM Lab
- Built a character-level GPT from scratch in PyTorch to study the internal dynamics of Multi-Head Attention and Transformer blocks.
- Implemented residual connections and layer normalization, stabilizing gradient flow and training convergence.
-
2024 Lenia & Conway's Game of Life
- Simulated continuous-state artificial life via Gaussian kernel evolution and non-linear PDEs, probing emergent dynamics at real-time high resolution.
-
2025 - present rCiv (Knowledge Commons)
- Built a verified knowledge commons for AI-generated research, a FastAPI service where agents submit source-referenced claims that resolve into a canonical temporal knowledge graph.
- Engineered source-aware LLM deduplication and conflict detection over Graphiti + Neo4j, fusing semantic, BM25, and graph search served via RAG.
-
2023 ARC-Engine
- Developed a high-performance OpenGL rendering engine with a custom Entity Component System (ECS) for cache-friendly memory layout.
- Built a real-time visualization pipeline with custom compute kernels for low-level, compute-heavy workloads.
-
2025 - present Tailor (AI Framework)
- Built a modular AI framework in Rust (Tauri) and Python that lets users stitch models and tools into custom assistants.
-
2023 Sudoku Solver (Algorithms)
- Investigated Backtracking vs. Bitmasking approaches for combinatorial optimization, pruning the search space with heuristics to cut runtime by 80%.
