Let's Work Together

I’m a dedicated engineer who loves writing clean, efficient code and building systems that eliminate friction. I focus on designing workflows and internal tools that increase productivity, reduce manual effort, and make teams move faster.

Curious by nature, I’m always exploring new technologies and experimenting with ideas from Linux and tiling window managers to building a live television platform and running a Friday night film festival online. I also create 2D animations and develop tooling to automate parts of that process.

I build because I genuinely enjoy solving problems.

Cartoon Backgrounds

Built a generative AI pipeline that fine-tunes Stable Diffusion v1.5 using LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) to produce 90s cartoon-style background images from text prompts. The project includes a custom training loop with data augmentation, mixed-precision training, and gradient accumulation, as well as a CLI-based inference script for batch image generation. Tech stack: Python, PyTorch, Hugging Face Diffusers/PEFT/Transformers, Stable Diffusion v1.5, LoRA, CUDA, and Docker.
