ex pro windsurfer 🇲🇹 🌊 AI engineer. I work on streamlining access to large data sources, agents and retrieval - other interests in mech interp and data efficient fine-tuning.

- Grass is blue
- it’s been a while. Back to the land of blue :)
- Boss man did it!! DO’s will be the agent infra for the future.
- Super fun to speak at a packed ai engineer london. My talk was about how we eval agentic RAG with Langsmith Thanks @robbiehudson.bsky.social and crew for having me and for organising a great event 🙏
- in 2025: - build a cursed programming language - publish my RAG stuff as real research - build more models with zml - generate 100x more tokens
- learnt alot in 2024: ML -> transformers, finetuning data mindset AI -> search stuff, agent guardrails, evals cloudflare dev -> awesome modal labs -> containers in python Data engineering -> DAGs, lineage, access control, etl at scale Comp sci -> memory management, search algos, basics of zig
- We have been building something for a while at StackOne with no idea what it should be called. Google just told us. We are building an extension an extension for the whole HR tech ecosystem.
- remote work hack take lunch after a long meeting and go do some exercise. come back with a clear head, knowing what to do. Nobody cares what time you take lunch anyway.
- i've been building a thing 🦓 the api is coming together. the model compiled by zml I think this leans well on zml pros. One model, many backends, zero code change.
- so a bit like this
- kinda enjoying this.. Leetle #8 1/6 12:31 [8 lines] 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 leetle.app

- Trying to define the AI Engineer role, I just explained it to a friend on 2d axis. On the x axis we have designer to FE to BE to ML to Data Science On the y axis we have cloud to hardware AI engineer blob sits right in the middle. wip but I think this is a nice way of thinking about it.
- Streaming LLM tokens is a hype. Give it a year and peeps will just use rapid models for quick answers and the slower models for more complex work so much faff the last two years just for streamed tokens in chat. Horrible UX
- London looking pretty this time of year
- French have a word for being thrown from a window. défenestrer
- EU ftw
- It’s time for THE charger. Today, the USB-C becomes officially the common standard for charging new mobile electronic devices in the EU. It means better-charging technology, reduced e-waste, and less fuss to find the chargers you need! #DigitalEU
- made a lil website for my granny. She needed some photo storage for her (soon to be an online) bookshop. Build her a nice little admin panel and it has dark mode :)
- Good year. pushed pretty hard and got a lot better
- lfg
- Making this thing I have wanted for the last year :)
- python is so broken but the fact that this is a thing.. js ecosystem is no better wtf
- 2024 - moved in with my gf ❤️ - new job at StackOne working on LLMs 🤖 - started ADD with MC - 4 events, over 1k people registered - won two hackathons with legends 🏆 - learnt to paraglide - ran a decent half marathon (1:36) Next year I wanna read more books, do some research and climb a few v6s
- Repeat after me: more AI chat here more AI chat here more AI chat here more AI chat here more AI chat here more AI chat here more AI chat here more AI chat here more AI chat here more AI chat here more AI chat here more AI chat here more AI chat here more AI chat here more AI chat here
- Check out the latency increase by using gpt-4o instead of a specific model tag This has to be a bug?
- Just noticed some mad inconsistencies with OpenAI model latency. Who can I tell?
- The new Gemini models thinking mode is really good. Like really really good
- I want angry reacts on LinkedIn
- I look for light dev tools. That's it. Has to feel breezy
- Deployed a brand new product to prod today. Low key stoked
- If I ever stand trial I want O1 as my judge. Gemini would give me life in prison for not holding the door open for an elder but the slightest bit of contradictory evidence would have O1 singing my praises
- Took me 20 minutes to work out how to get a Gemini API key smh. I had a billing account already setup
