A list of projects I’ve worked on or contributed to, or am currently working on. Most of these are open-source software projects, but I’m challenging myself to learn new skills and try new things.

• I signed up for beginner wheel classes at The Clay School and made my own bowls (photo)! Working with clay on a spinning wheel is much harder than I imagined it to be, but it was worth it.
• mlx-convnext: Trained a smol ConvNext model on CIFAR-10 using the MLX framework. I wrote this mostly as an exercise to learn MLX, and to refresh my memory on ConvNets.
• diversity: Open-source package by Chantal Shaib for evaluating the lexical diversity of LLM outputs. I contributed some optimizations (mostly batched operations) to make evaluation on text much faster.
