Current Projects

LLM Safety & Adversarial Testing

Active

Quality-diversity evolutionary framework (MAP-Elites) for discovering diverse vulnerabilities in LLMs, presented at ICLR 2026 Workshop AIWILD. Latest: a longitudinal red-teaming study finding that safety alignment does not always improve monotonically across model generations, with evolved attack archives that transfer unevenly between them.

Orbital Compute Primitives

Active

Designing compute abstractions for environments where power, connectivity, and time are all intermittent. Scheduling and fault-tolerance driven by orbital physics.

AI Agent Framework for Data Engineering

Active

Building production-ready multi-agent systems for autonomous data pipeline management: an industry-agnostic framework handling data quality, orchestration, and monitoring. Current focus is the verifier. When loops run unattended over real systems, convergence is not correctness, and the check you write is what actually decides the outcome.

LLM Inference Efficiency Research

Research

Reference implementations of acceleration techniques: speculative decoding, KV-cache compression, custom Triton kernels. 8.1x speedup, 88% peak bandwidth on A100. Latest: a fused MoE dispatch kernel in pure Triton, now on arXiv, reaching 89-131% of Megablocks' CUDA throughput at inference batch sizes and portable across NVIDIA A100 and AMD MI300X.

Runtime Interpretability & Circuit Tracing

Active

Mechanistic interpretability for production AI safety: circuit tracing for model internals and sandbagging detection, plus a new thread on what interpretability actually costs at inference time. Built a harness to test whether activation probes are cheap enough to run in production serving, against the standing assumption that they are not.

Learning & Research

  • Verifier Design for Unattended Loops: What makes a check trustworthy when agentic loops run over real production systems with no human in the path
  • Orbital Machine Learning: ML for orbit determination, conjunction forecasting, and satellite behavior classification from sparse observations
  • Distributed Computing for Space: Gradient compression for high-latency links, model partitioning across heterogeneous nodes, and synchronization under intermittent connectivity

What I'm Not Doing

  • Not taking on new full-time commitments (happy with current role)
  • Not doing basic web development projects (focused on AI/data architecture)
  • Not available for unpaid advisory work (limited capacity for pro-bono)

Open For

  • Technical Consulting: AI/data architecture, framework design, team building
  • Speaking Engagements: Conferences, workshops, podcasts on AI/data topics
  • Research Collaboration: Academic partnerships on agentic systems or context modeling
  • Open Source: Collaborators for my frameworks and tools
