Now

There are only 2 more years until the permanent underclass is officially established. Maybe I (and you) will be part of it together!

Basics

Education: CS @ UCSC 2020-2023 (Yes, I completed it in only 3 years)

Work: This (still quite stealth) with a team of talented people with prior experience at top companies.

Residence: East Bay Area

Open Source

I also contribute to open source, and many of the projects I've done in my free time are also open source. Here are some open source things I'm currently actively maintaining or contributing to:

• Swift Operation (A better Tanstack Query for Swift.)
• Cactus (Low-latency on-device AI inference.)
• Various other Swift libraries that some people find useful. (See my Github profile.)
• I also occassionally chip in to PointFree's libraries.
• A Rust arc is planned for the near future.

In Progress/Planned Writings

As opposed to traditional software projects which can be spun up nowadays in a matter of hours (thanks to agents), I prefer to be very methodical and take the scenic route with my writings.

All of my writings for this site are hand-crafted, and no AI is used whatsoever for the actual written content.

• Locality of Decisions (In Progress)
• An interactive systems design piece that introduces a conceptual framework around representation, optimization, and meaning. Also explores the failings of many of today's mediums, and the idea of dynanicism.
• ML as a Medium (IDK the exact title yet, Planned)
• An ML-specific follow-up to Locality of Decisions on how ML can be used for dynanicism, and the things that need to happen to make that possible.

Current Tooling

• Languages: Swift, Typescript, C++ (Cactus only), Go (Internal tooling only), Rust (Upcoming Open Source Work + Internal Tooling)
• UI Frameworks of Choice: SwiftUI, SvelteKit, React Native (not my choice, but still a choice)
• Agents: Codex (through OpenCode personally, Codex CLI directly for work), Minimax (for smaller and non-code stuff)

Currently Learning

• Transformer-based Deep-learning + ML systems design (via this)
• C++ (via this)

Human Info

I happen to be part of the "human" species, here is some information about my particular build.

• Genetics: Male, 5'10, 165 lbs (prev 200 lbs 🥶)
• Hobbies: Sleeping, Zone 5 Cardio, Softball, Mountain Hiking
