About Me
Hello! I am a software engineer with experience building and scaling applications for E-commerce and marketplace platforms serving both millions of users, and internal teams.
Recently I made the decision to step away from traditional software engineering roles to fully dedicate my time to learning and exploring artificial intelligence/machine learning, driven by a strong personal interest and a desire to tackle new technical challenges.
My goal is to transition into applied AI engineering, where I can focus on building with, training, and scaling deep learning models in real-world applications.

Current/future project ideas
Recently implemented the original "attention is all you need" paper from scratch. Click here to view
Currently working towards LLM training. Future plans are to reiterate my implementation with modern techniques seen in the LLaMA & Deepseek papers: rotary positional embeddings (RoPE), SwiGLU, multi-head latent attention, RMSNorm, etc.
Future interests include optimizations/scaling, mixture of experts architecture, computer vision and multi-modality.
