ML & Simulation

Learning systems, from scratch.

The work

Training small models, building GPTs from first principles, and running evolution and optimization simulations. Understanding the internals makes me better at using the big models.

What I deliver

  1. Custom models where an API isn't the right tool
  2. Simulations and optimization experiments
  3. Forecasting and scoring models
