About
I love tinkering with electronics and software, occasionally delving into app development, deep learning, capture the flags, 3D printing, embedded development, and graphic design.
Lately, my focus has been on inference-time scaling with LLMs and reinforcement learning. I believe in nature-inspired approaches to intelligence and learning, and am especially fascinated by the study of open-endedness.
Always open to discussions on these! ( ᵔ ᗜ ᵔ )
