"The more things change, the more they stay the same." Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr, 1849

I'm an AI researcher building local agentic systems on consumer GPUs. I started as a data scientist and spent the last two years moving into applied AI research: two dual-RTX 3090 clusters I built myself, local agents running on them, and the writing and open-source work that came out of it. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Environmental Science from Colby College and took the unconventional route into computer science, self-taught from the ground up. What I work on now: hardware, local AI, agents, and the long question of brain emulation and AGI.

When I'm not programming, I'm surfing, reading, and tinkering on hardware builds. Follow along on my blog, GitHub, or X.
