Living Timeline
This page is a living timeline that brings together my long-form writing, project launches, and a few personal milestones in one chronological stream.
By listing articles and project releases side by side, you can trace how ideas move from early notes into published posts or shipped software over time. Each entry is tagged with the domains involved — from LLM systems and reinforcement learning to the occasional life event that influenced the work.
Everything is ordered from newest to oldest, with upcoming experiments included to highlight what's currently in the pipeline.
Future plans are clearly marked so you can see what might be coming next.

Reinforcement learning roundup (probably)
Collecting field research for a late-2025 write-up once I know what sticks.
-
RL sandbox prototypes
Experimenting with a grab bag of RL tools to match the article whenever the real scope reveals itself.
- Beyond the Vibe Check: A Systematic Approach to LLM Evaluation
Stop relying on gut feelings to evaluate LLM outputs. Learn systematic approaches to build trustworthy evaluation pipelines with measurable metrics, proven methods, and production-ready practices. A practical guide covering faithfulness vs helpfulness, LLM-as-judge techniques, bias mitigation, and continuous monitoring.
- Beyond the Vibe Check: A Systematic Approach to LLM Evaluation
Draft in progress: a forthcoming deep dive on building evaluation pipelines for LLM-powered products, arriving in autumn 2025.

Became a father
Our first child, Benjamim, arrived on September 12, 2024 — and everything changed in the best possible way. I hit pause on the deep-learning roadmap to start collecting training data from the tiniest (and most fascinating) human dataset I’ll ever work with. These days, midnight diaper shifts feel a lot like reinforcement-learning loops — except the reward signal is a sleepy giggle that makes every iteration worth it. I still catch myself jotting notes in our “family lab notebook,” half scientist, half dad, completely in awe.
2023
- OpenELM Notes
I wrote about OpenELM and how Apple approaches efficient language models.
- RAG with LlamaIndex, Elasticsearch, Llama3
I built a retrieval pipeline with LlamaIndex, Elasticsearch, and Llama3 to test local deployment workflows.
