Week 26, 2026

June 29 — July 5, 2026

This week #

• Revived this site as a public record of a 6-month research engineering trajectory.
• Settled on a structure: transformers + LLM inference + efficient kernels as the core trunk; agents, SOTA papers, and TypeScript literacy as satellites.
• Blocked study time on the calendar for the next 8 weeks.
• Started a living note to track direction: Research Engineer Trajectory.

Up next #

• Read the Word2Vec paper and understand CBOW / skip-gram / negative sampling.
• Implement Word2Vec from scratch in NumPy or raw PyTorch.
• Explore Tau as a Python agent harness for MVF work.

Open questions #

• What part of the transformer/inference stack lights me up most as I go deeper?
• How much focused work can I realistically get from the 3–7pm weekday blocks?
