Now.
A snapshot of what I'm focused on right now. Inspired by Derek Sivers' /now page movement.
Building
Working on personal projects and developer tools — mostly things around language tooling and productivity. Building tools that scratch my own itch.
Researching
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
Attention Is All You Need
Vaswani et al. — revisiting the foundations
The Pragmatic Programmer
Hunt & Thomas — timeless for a reason
Learning
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
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.
