Hi there!
I like creating and building things.
Once upon a time I co-founded a small venture capital firm called Alter Global, which invests in the developing world. These days I work on interesting data science and AI projects in my spare time, while incubating new tech products with Rayn.
I also write short stories.
This is a space for me to share some of my creations, whether they be data-related or short fiction, or just random thoughts.
Take a look around, and feel free to get in touch.
Data Science and AI
I’m interested in using machine learnings techniques and AI for classification tasks.
Project 1: Can I teach a machine to infer the gender of nouns in a language? Languages, such as German, Hindi and Urdu (among others), often absorb nouns from other languages, such as English. How do they assign a gender to a “foreign” word? Can a machine replicate that human intuition? Web app here.
Project 2: Can LLMs optimize their own prompts? I use an “actor-critic” algorithm — where one agent prepares and runs a prompt, and another provides feedback — to allow the machine to refine its own prompts to categorize blocks of text into one of three categories. Coming soon!
Short Story Collection
My stories explore the intersection of technology, society, and power and privilege. They are set in the near future, and center around a young professional trying to navigate his own role at that intersection.
