Hi, I'm Miles

I enjoy working on low-level problems, mainly in AI and cybersecurity. In highschool, while OpenAI was still focused on Gym, I wrote a single-neuron network and reworked Karpathy's famous min-char-rnn to show off to classmates.

Also in highschool, I co-lead the programming club and consulted for the state's first Cybersecurity high school cirriculum.

In college, I spent 2 years doing coursework in Computer Science and Mathematics. During my time there, I started and lead the ML/AI Special Interest Group (SIG). This was an extracurricular activity that was optional to anyone at the school. At the time, there were no undergraduate ML/AI courses available and only a handful of graduate-level courses available. In the sessions, I broke down complex topics in ML using plain English and no high-level libraries.

The goal was not to build or design a product or tool, but to understand the technology at its core. High-level libraries outsource your understanding! Obviously things have changed in AI development, and writing a production codebase of any kind with no libraries would be insanity. But this time was invaluable to me in that I fully understood the concepts behind machine learning at the time.

Personally and currently I'm interested in the frontier of AI research and experimenting with new implemenations. I've gotten incredibly bored with the big AI labs companies and their current pace of research. If not pace, then style and focus of their work. I miss the days when anything was possible with AI!! Now, we only call it a "breakthrough" if it means my AI waifu uses less tokens to tell me she loves me.

Really though, I'm just exhausted of LLMs and the news cycles. There are much MUCH more interesting (and world-altering) ways to use this technology. We just started to scratch the surface when ChatGPT and its counterparts appeared and forever changed the landscape of ML research, skewing everyone's perspective towards a narrow use case of a technology that's existed for nearly century!
