What Drives Me

I'm passionate about building interesting systems that solve real-world problems. From training custom LLMs to creating engaging and easy-to-use web applications, I thrive on the intersection of AI research and practical software engineering. Always exploring cutting-edge technologies, optimization techniques, and new programming paradigms to stay at the forefront of software development.

When I'm not coding, you'll find me diving deep into literature, experimenting with new frameworks and tools, or in the garden tending my plants, while my computer is running in the background 24/7 training models (RIP GPU). I believe in continuous learning and love sharing knowledge with the developer community.
