Hey I'm Simon 👋

terminal typing


I've been diving deep into machine learning whenever I can carve out time. I've done everything from building LLMs from scratch to a location‑scoring system I built during an internship. I've been living in $\color{blue}{\mathbf{Pycharm}}$ & $\color{blue}{\mathbf{VS Code}}$ building out projects to build up my ML skillset day by day. I have high hopes of pursuing a PhD in ML.

I'm most confident with $\Large \color{blue}{\mathbf{Python}}$ and have a solid web dev skillset. I've been gradually picking up $\color{blue}{\textbf{Rust}}$ and $$\color{blue}{\text{TypeScript}}$$. I'm getting increasingly comfortable with $$\color{blue}{\text{Vim motions}}$$.

GitHub Contributions

Tiny GPT‑style Transformer trained from scratch in PyTorch on a 1.5 MB corpus of public‑domain Aristotle. Character‑level next‑token prediction, multiple model sizes, full training logs, loss curves, and sample generations.

PyTorch Transformers

Simple PyTorch neural networks (MLP and CNN) trained on the Kaggle digit-recognizer dataset (MNIST in CSV format). The goal is practice with neural nets, not leaderboard sniping.

PyTorch

Surprisingly complex terminal Battleship with a fully custom text UI, used as a sandbox to push code organization, modular design, and concise Python.

Python Curses

End‑to‑end ML pipeline from EDA (class balance, correlations, KDEs) to a logistic regression baseline, then tuned gradient boosting models and interpretability with SHAP.
