Now.

A snapshot of what I'm focused on right now. Inspired by Derek Sivers' /now page movement.

Building

01 / 05

Working on personal projects and developer tools — mostly things around language tooling and productivity. Building tools that scratch my own itch.

Researching

02 / 05

MPhil at University of Wollongong — large language models for low-resource languages. Exploring cross-lingual transfer learning and how modern LLMs handle Vietnamese NLP tasks.

Reading

03 / 05

Attention Is All You Need

Vaswani et al. — revisiting the foundations

The Pragmatic Programmer

Hunt & Thomas — timeless for a reason

Learning

04 / 05

Deepening distributed systems design and Rust. Spending focused time on LoRA and QLoRA fine-tuning — how to make LLM training practical on limited compute.

Life

05 / 05

Based in Wollongong, NSW — balancing full-time work with graduate research. The overlap between the two keeps things interesting. When not at a screen, usually near the ocean.
