Engineering
- dcHiC: Co-writer and maintainer of this open-source scientific computing package. Wrote routines for memory-efficient low-rank PCA, genome-wide hypothesis testing, and large-scale visualization.
- Pandora: Co-developer of Pandora, a large-scale library for benchmarking privacy attacks on language models.
- Quidio: Co-founded a marketplace for technical knowledge and bounties—basically Replit Bounties but one year earlier. Led eng/product; scaled to hundreds of users.
- Teambooth: Federated fine-tuning of DreamBooth diffusion models. Built as a fault-tolerant distributed system with Raft and gRPC that runs 18x more cost-effectively than a centralized server.
- Stochastic team selection: Optimal team assignment is an NP-complete combinatorial optimization problem. This simulated annealing algorithm does well and is used by several Harvard clubs.
- Misc: I’ve enjoyed speaking art to life, visualizing my social network with Obsidian, and speeding up LLMs with speculative sampling.
