About me

I am diving into math, optimization, and applied ML. Recently I’ve been exploring instruction fine‑tuning on consumer GPUs and building small iOS tools with on‑device models. Currently learning IssacLab. Outside of class, I like hiking and cycling.

Selected projects

LLM Systems

SFT on Dream‑7B (LoRA/QLoRA + 4‑bit)

Fine‑tuned on S1k with memory‑efficient quantization; ~20% reasoning lift and 60%+ cost reduction on a single 5070 Ti.

PyTorch BitsAndBytes QLoRA
Model Training

Instruction FT on GPT‑OSS‑20B

OpenWebMath + The Stack v2; DeepSpeed + gradient checkpointing on 96GB VRAM. +15% math reasoning, +12% code tasks.

DeepSpeed RunPod Eval
iOS / On‑device ML

Real‑time camera translation

Apple FastVLM + OCR pipeline; SwiftUI front‑end with CoreML, sub‑1s end‑to‑end latency.
