• Pretrained a 29.9M-parameter transformer from random initialisation on 2.0B tokens in 9.0 hours, on a single RTX 3070 Ti (8 GB).
• Wrote model.py and train.py from an empty file — not forked from nanoGPT or any existing training repo — and trained a byte-level BPE tokenizer (vocabulary 8192) on the raw corpus.
• Implemented RMSNorm, rotary position embeddings, SwiGLU feed-forward, and tied embeddings.
• Published the weights as release v1.0 (68 MB fp16) with the tokenizer; runs at ~48 tokens/sec on CPU.

• Designed, implemented, and own an egress security boundary that classifies outbound requests from an autonomous LLM agent and blocks sensitive data from leaving the machine.
• Built a Python/FastAPI backend exposing REST APIs, backed by a vector-searchable SQLite store I schema-designed that holds 7,600+ records.
• Route requests across a fleet of locally-run models.
• Wrote an automated test suite (128 passing tests in the public excerpt) that runs on every change before deploy; 450+ commits.
• Run the platform continuously under pm2 and handle operations personally: scheduled jobs, log-driven incident diagnosis, service-restart triage, and memory-ceiling tuning.

• Sole-authored the platform — roughly 9,300 lines across 43 modules — including a React 19 + TypeScript operator dashboard on a Vite build.
• Structured the system into strictly separated analytics, data ingestion, decision, execution, simulation, dashboard, and testing layers.
• Built SQL-backed ingestion and evaluation pipelines with logging and reporting.

• Built 80+ registered operations across 20+ modules, with persistent per-user state and automated content moderation.
• Designed an authorization layer with permission tiers (read / moderator / admin / owner), placing destructive operations behind an explicit approval path.
• Diagnosed and fixed a production parsing defect where an upstream API returned malformed markup instead of its structured field; wrote a normalizer plus a guard.

• Deliver hands-on technical and product support, troubleshooting printing, copying, and shipping technology and resolving issues on the spot.
• Operate and maintain print/copy hardware; diagnose and clear equipment faults to keep service running during high-volume periods.
• Process domestic and international shipping, label printing, and returns with accuracy and compliance under deadline pressure.

• Entered and processed time-sensitive prescription and insurance data with accuracy; maintained compliant patient records.
• Troubleshot customer insurance and order issues in person and over the phone; trained new staff on systems and procedures.

• Supported live sporting events at a large athletics venue, directing guests and maintaining safety for crowds and players in a high-traffic setting.
• Addressed attendee concerns in real time and enforced event protocols across long shifts, including nights and weekends, as part of a coordinated operations team.

• Debugged and optimized software, assisted with front-end coding, and organized project files.

• On leave, building and operating independent software full-time. Expected graduation 2028/2029.
• Cisco CCNA — self-study, in progress.
