And this page is a quine. What is that? Well, a quine is a program that produces its source code as its output.
I am a research enginer at Conjecture, where you can find me tinkering with LLMs. You can find my resume here
I started exploring computers when I was 7, when I got my hands on a QBASIC manual. I have loved writing code and computers ever since.
I was a Google Code-in 2018 Grand Prize winner for my contributions to KDE Community, and was invited to visit Google's HQ in California!
I am a FOSS evangelist, and therefore a Linux user(i use arch btw :p)
I work with whatever gets the job done, and have been working on Security (and|for) LLMs for the last few years.
I was an instructor at Atlas Fellowship, for Game Theory, Computer Science, Reverse Engineering, and Machine Learning. And I was a TA at ARENA for distributed training and CUDA.
Made a prototype ML datacentre you can carry around, complete with H100s
SERI MATS Summer '22(Evan Hubinger and John Wentworth), and Summer '23 (Jeffrey Ladish)
CERI (Cambridge Existential Risks Initiative) Summer Research Fellow, worked on improving infrastructre for software supply chain security.
I was a SDE intern at QuantCo Zurich in summer 2021. I worked on QuantCo's internal toolchain for evaluating SQL databases' performance for data science.
I've implemented OpenAI's GLIDE model (which was DALL-E's successor), and the training code for it.
I've written a a fast & tiny HTTP server in Java without any dependencies.
I am kindof lazy, and love automating stuff, like this minecraft mod that makes your life easier.
I used to reverse engineer software and love taking part in CTFs. Like picoCTF 2019, where my team was ranked 52nd out of 15817
One of my hobbies is making procedural digital art. You can find some stuff I made with blender here.
I like making quirky stuff like this website(it is a quine), and recursion ;p
I also enjoy doing Unicode voodoo like my twitter account name

This all started from the book Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid, by Douglas Hofstadter. It is a really good book covering a lot of topics, but it was the book that introduced the idea of a 'quine', a program that prints its source code. This page is inspired bythistalk by Dylan Beattie.
But how does it work? Well, this page uses a bunch of weird HTML and CSS tricks to insert the tags, as well as hide them. Here is all the voodoo that makes this possible:
