I'm a high-school builder who keeps ending up in rooms meant for people twice my age — startups, research, fellowships. I like shipping real things and figuring out the hard parts as I go.
Right now I'm deep in AI: training small models, building tools I actually want to use, and writing about what I learn. If it's ambitious and slightly out of reach, I'm probably interested.
