Island

The portfolio leads with open-source contributions, followed by selected personal projects. This page holds the quieter work: learning in progress and small experiments, some of them unfinished.

They are here because the working is worth keeping visible, not because each one is a finished product.

I am building a small Transformer in PyTorch from scratch, one tested lesson at a time. The character-level version of it became the optional model in ContextPack.

Upstream work puts the same habit of checking assumptions into practice: Nocturne needed consistent query parsing and regression coverage; a VetLog review finding became a merged filtering fix. The Codex investigation remains a reproduction and published findings, not a code fix. Their case studies keep those distinctions and upstream evidence visible.
