Most of my work is reproduction under a strict evidence gate: a claim doesn't count until the number traces back to a file and survives an adversarial check. Currently working through inference-time kernels, quantisation, and torch.compile internals.
BuildFromScratch — single-file LM reproductions at bit-exact parity
SmolLM2-135M and Qwen3-0.6B-Base rebuilt as single-file PyTorch models, verified against the reference weights, then used as a controlled base for architecture ablations at matched compute.
| Check | Result |
|---|---|
| SmolLM2-135M parity vs HuggingFace | max|Δlogits| = 0.0 |
| Qwen3-0.6B-Base parity vs HuggingFace | max|Δlogits| = 0.0 |
| Qwen3 faithful baseline | ~2.14× reference, ~275,000× less training data |
| Modernised IMU-1 bundle @ matched compute | +18% over the faithful baseline (23.52 vs 28.65) |
Three builds — faithful, modernised, exploratory partial-RoPE — each with parity scripts, training pipelines and an lm-evaluation-harness wrapper.
Deep-Learning for Facial 3D Reconstruction — MSc dissertation, University of Dundee
End-to-end 3D head reconstruction pipeline: PCA normalisation, a 1,200-image rotation sweep, SixDRepNet pose estimation, and synthetic dataset rendering — built as the dissertation project for my MSc in Computer Science.

multi-agent-patterns — orchestration for long-running agent systems
Patterns for agent systems that run for hours rather than turns: JobPulse daily automation and MindGraph knowledge visualisation as the working examples.
Patches to the libraries I use daily — kernels, quantisation dispatch, and compiler internals.
