Documents

These are probably what you're looking for. A summary of the key points follows below!

Education

  • Technical University of Denmark (DTU) — MSc in Computer Science and Engineering. September 2026 expected 2028. Expecting PhD studies after.
  • Brown University — Sc.B. in Computer Science and Mathematics. August 2022 May 2026
  • DIS Copenhagen / Københavns Universitet — Semester abroad. Fall 2024

Research Interests

My work clusters into three threads:

  • Machine learning — order-invariant ICD-10-CM embeddings (under review at JAMA Network Open, deployed calculator), the NeuroPose 3D-kinematics system in Liqi Shu's lab at Brown Neurology, and ongoing research engineering at NeuroAI. Undergraduate work has been clinically focused; graduate study broadens the scope.
  • Computer systems and high-performance computing — the Weenix kernel, a TCP/IP networking stack from scratch in Go, and micro-architectural performance work (SIMD, hardware counters via PAPI, RAPL energy, cross-ISA ports across AVX2 / ARM NEON-SVE / RISC-V V) on Brown's OSCAR HPC cluster.
  • Reinforcement learning and applied AI — a Magic: The Gathering RL project on OSCAR; production agentic-systems work at xAI on grok-code-fast-1; reasoning, evaluation, and red-teaming contracts with Anthropic, Mistral, and OpenAI.

Computer vision and security thread through all three but do not stand on their own.

Experience

See resume (PDF).

  • xAI Summer 2025, remote. Contributed to training of grok-code-fast-1. Integrated LLMs into autonomous agent frameworks spanning 20 tools across thousands of production workflows and codebases; diagnosed and resolved 50+ agentic failures, improving tool-execution rates by >15%, reducing fatal tool-usage errors by >40%, and reducing API usage by >20%. Contributed to safety systems, reducing hallucination rates by >50% in controlled agent-behavior tests.
  • NeuroAI Present. neuroai.health. Early-stage venture of academics and clinicians integrating deep learning, reinforcement learning, and generative AI into clinical and research workflows; leading research-engineering across model development, deployment infrastructure, and system design.
  • Shu Laboratory, Brown Department of NeurologyUndergraduate Researcher and Technical Lead. October 2023 Present. Technical lead on NeuroPose; co-lead developer on the ICD-10-CM embedding model.
  • Independent Research ContractingAnthropic, Mistral, OpenAI. 2025 Present Expert reasoning contributions in code and mathematics for agentic workflows, agentic task design and evaluation, AI safety, and red-teaming.

Selected Projects

  • Weenix — Unix-like kernel in ~7,000 lines of C: virtual memory, VFS, system calls, threading, device drivers, interrupt handlers, and file systems. Custom linker support for running userspace x86-64 ELF binaries; extended with pipes and userspace preemption.
  • Networking Stack from Scratch — TCP/IP, RIP, UDP, and DNS in Go, supporting file transmission of up to 1 GB across 8-node networks. Extended with a fully RFC-compliant SSH implementation (2,000+ additional lines) supporting sustained sessions of arbitrary length.
  • SIMD / PQC Performance Study — Hand-written AVX2 assembly for ML-KEM / Kyber. 35×56× speedup over compiler-optimized C for core NTT arithmetic; 5.4×7.1× end-to-end KEM speedup, with a full statistical-analysis pipeline on Brown's OSCAR cluster.
