What I’m focused on right now, last updated June 2026.
Work #
Building AI agents at MVF. Currently using the Anthropic SDK, but exploring provider-agnostic alternatives like Tau to reduce lock-in and cost.
Study #
A 6-month personal sprint to rebuild depth in transformers and inference:
- Core trunk: transformer internals, LLM inference, efficient kernels.
- This week: Word2Vec from scratch, Tau architecture reading.
- Satellites: agents, SOTA papers, TypeScript literacy.
I blocked study time on my calendar for the next 8 weeks and publish a weekly note on this site.
Open questions #
- Which layer of the stack do I enjoy most: math, algorithms, systems, or hardware?
- Should I stay at MVF long-term or use this sprint to position for a research engineering role?
- What will my first serious public experiment be?
