ai/ml engineer

i train and fine tune language models, publish open weights and datasets, and build tools for model evaluation and red teaming.

about

i'm an ai/ml engineer working at the intersection of model training, red teaming, and open-source tooling.

day to day: fine-tuning and quantizing language models, running red teaming and refusal-direction work, and building tools around them. local-first models when they make sense, hosted apis when they don't.

mostly experiments, debugging, and building tools for problems i've run into myself.

core mission

  • ML engineering & research
  • adversarial testing
  • evaluation
  • agentic systems
  • dataset curation & synthetic data
  • local AI
