Projects
FLM (Fly Language Model) | PyTorch, Language Model Training, TypeScript, WebGL | GitHub
- Trained a language model from scratch on a recurrent core built from the fruit-fly connectome (1,024 neurons, 76K edges), benchmarked against parameter-matched GRU/transformer baselines on WikiText-2 and BabyLM. Ablations isolate the predictive gain (0.12 BPB) to temporal state over fly-specific wiring; 5 working papers. Runs fully in-browser with live neural state and neuron-level interventions.
Claurst | Rust, TypeScript, Claude Code, Codex, Multi-Provider API Harnesses
- 10,000+ GitHub stars. Featured on Decrypt, taught in a Michigan State University lecture. The Highly Optimised TUI coding agent — a Rust-native binary with multi-provider support, custom modes, enhanced privacy, and more.
The Backdooms | JavaScript, Canvas API, Code Minification, Compression Algorithms, DecompressionStream API
- Top Hacker News post for 3 days (600+ upvotes). Covered by PC Gamer and TechSpot, cited in an ex-NASA Scientist's research paper (arXiv:2506.11008). Ported a version of DOOM inspired by the Backrooms, self-contained in a QR code, with a custom compression pipeline.
