Selected Works
MoMAI: Mixture of Models Architecture (2026)
A research project I'm working on now, breaking tasks into small fine-tuned, distilled models instead of routing everything to one giant generalist. Cheap and efficient by design, and unlike a frontier model where God knows what they put in it, we actually know what data trained each mini model and why it's the right one for the job.
Orthic AI: An Autonomous Engineer (2026)
Working on it now, an open-source project built on a distilled and fine-tuned Gemma 4 model that understands problems, designs solutions, and validates real-world engineering decisions, going from problem to CAD drawing on its own.
Decorist: AI Interior Designer (2025)
Interior designer on people's pocket powered by ai agents. Not the deepest work, but good to show my attention to detail, all designed and built by me.
