About

A bit about how I work.

I'm a software engineer at Microsoft. I studied computer science and interned twice at AWS before joining. Most of what I build, though, lives outside the day job.

I like working close to the metal: developer tooling and CLIs in Rust, machine-learning systems written from scratch, a small C++ game engine, and reverse-engineering and modding Fallout 4. Most projects start from a practical itch: make something faster, automate a workflow, or learn a system deeply enough to bend it.

Now: Building Overseer in Rust and training Sky-AI from scratch.

Work

10 projects

Things I build in my own time: Rust tooling, ML systems from scratch, game tech, and Fallout 4 reverse-engineering.

Systems & Tooling★ 1

Overseer

A Fallout 4 mod manager in Rust, on the Mod Organizer 2 model.

Non-destructive, crash-safe transactional deploys, real Plugins.txt load-order management, a setup health checker, and a ratatui TUI, all over a UI-agnostic core.

Machine Learning★ 2

Sky-AI

GPT-2 (124M), reproduced from scratch, then scaled.

A clean-room GPT-2 that matches OpenAI bit-for-bit, plus a modern skyai stack scaling toward ~1.5B, on a hand-written training harness (Flash Attention, bf16, torch.compile).
