Building

• hermes-curriculum - A knowledge-graph curriculum engine that decides what an AI tutor should teach next: FSRS spaced repetition, prerequisite gating, exam questions grounded in real course material. It grew out of Book Summarizer once I realized summaries weren't the point - knowing what to study next was.
• A personal agent that actually does things - I run an always-on assistant on my own server: it drills me daily for exams over Telegram, curates systems-and-AI papers into the news section of this site, and keeps growing new jobs.

Learning

• Cybersecurity - Exam session this month. Crypto is solid; adversarial ML is the fun new territory.
• GPU programming - Working through Programming Massively Parallel Processors, with a 3,000-question curriculum my own engine generated from the book. Eating my own dog food.

Reading

• Rust Atomics and Locks (Mara Bos) - because I don't really trust my mental model of memory ordering yet.
• AI Engineering (Chip Huyen) - the missing manual for the LLM-systems work I keep gravitating toward.

Life

Finishing the master's while working full-time, which is exactly as much fun as it sounds. Thinking hard about what comes after the degree - the interesting problems I want to work on live at the intersection of distributed systems and AI infrastructure, and I intend to go where they are.
