What I’m building, learning, and trying to get a better model of. What’s a now page?

01Building

  • hermes-curriculum

    A knowledge-graph curriculum engine that decides what an AI tutor should teach next: FSRS spaced repetition, prerequisite gating, exam questions grounded in real course material. It grew out of Book Summarizer once I realized summaries weren’t the point—knowing what to study next was.

  • A personal agent that actually does things

    I run an always-on assistant on my own server: it drills me daily for exams over Telegram, curates systems-and-AI papers into the dispatches section of this site, and keeps growing new jobs.

02Learning

  • Concurrent and Parallel Programming

    Currently preparing for the next exam and sharpening my mental models for concurrency, synchronization, and parallel execution.

  • GPU programming

    Working through Programming Massively Parallel Processors, with a 3,000-question curriculum my own engine generated from the book. Eating my own dog food.

03Questions I keep returning to

  • Human reasoning + machine retrieval

    LLMs can retrieve and reorganize an absurd amount of information, but that is not the same as reasoning. What should the system between those two abilities look like? I am not claiming to know; Hermes is one way I am trying to find out.

  • Constraints before generation

    I do not trust a model with an end-to-end project and no standard outside itself. In a recent legal-editor replacement, the useful check is how many items match the old system byte for byte. The model gets room to work, but not room to declare itself correct.

04Recently

  • Cybersecurity: 29/30

    Completed the exam with a curriculum generated by hermes-curriculum. A useful result for the degree, and an even better validation that the system works on real material under real pressure.

05Reading

  • Rust Atomics and Locks (Mara Bos)

    Because I don’t really trust my mental model of memory ordering yet.

  • AI Engineering (Chip Huyen)

    The missing manual for the LLM-systems work I keep gravitating toward.

06Open to

I am always looking for the most interesting challenges I can find, preferably with interesting technology behind them. I am open to work that lines up with those interests, stretches what I know, and leaves room to learn.

07Life

Finishing the master’s while working full-time, which is exactly as much fun as it sounds. Thinking hard about what comes after the degree—the interesting problems I want to work on live at the intersection of distributed systems and AI infrastructure, and I intend to go where they are.
