Experiments

Off-the-clock research.

The non-clinical playground — generative AI, vision-language, evolutionary program synthesis, robot-learning simulation, ML theory, and radiology HCI prototypes. Public where it can be: code on GitHub, models and live apps elsewhere.

Evolutionary AI research

Orchestrated ShinkaEvolve

A custom ShinkaEvolve fork where a frontier-LLM orchestrator (Claude Opus) directs the search and spawns evolutionary child solutions as containerized GLM-5 agents. Pointed at open targets — faster llama.cpp inference, the 4×4 matrix-multiplication record (AlphaEvolve's 48 multiplies), Erdős problems, and bitpacking. Research-stage: the matmul search space proved too large to beat the record, but the distributed agent-evolution harness is the payoff.

Generative AI hackathon

Drone Show Storyboard

A Gemini-powered storyboard generator for choreographed drone light shows — turn a creative brief into a sequenced visual plan. Built at the Nano Banana hackathon on Google AI Studio.

Generative AI live app

ASCIImation Generator

Converts images and video frames into live ASCII art — pixels to glyphs, rendered in the browser. Built on Google AI Studio and deployed on Cloud Run.

Evolutionary AI

FunSearch-GA

DeepMind's FunSearch fused with a genetic algorithm — an LLM evolves bucket-filling optimization programs under tournament selection, crossover, mutation, and elitism, scored on time, memory, and solution quality.

Evolutionary AI

Mini-Evolve

An AlphaEvolve-style evolutionary coding agent — async LLM calls, a SQLite program database, modular problem definitions, and Jinja2 prompt templates driving open-ended code evolution.

Robot-Learning Datasets

Synthetic robot-learning datasets generated in NVIDIA Omniverse and Isaac Sim — domain-randomized scenes and trajectories for training manipulation and perception policies.

Interfaces & Hardware prototype

Gesture DICOM Windowing

A touchless prototype for DICOM window/level control — MediaPipe face and hand tracking maps gestures to windowing so a radiologist can adjust a scan without touching the workstation.

Interfaces & Hardware prototype

X-Keys → JS Radiology Mapping

X-Keys USB keypad mapped to JavaScript via WebHID — programmable hardware shortcuts that turn a physical keypad into custom viewer controls for radiology workstations.

Interfaces & Hardware tool

Selenium Image Extractor

A Selenium-driven extractor that automates pulling annotated study images out of a web DICOM viewer — scripted navigation, viewport capture, and bulk export.

GPU & Systems

Local GPU Inference Stack

A self-hosted inference fleet tuned across Apple Silicon (M1, M4 Pro / MPS) and NVIDIA Pascal→Blackwell (dual Tesla P40, RTX 5070, RTX 5090) — dual-GPU tensor parallelism under vLLM, flash attention and KV-cache tuning under Ollama, and a GGUF quantization ladder (Q8→Q4→Q2) that serves 7B–70B models on prosumer hardware.

ML Theory

SALMON

PAC-Bayes generalization bounds for two-layer ReLU networks — Fisher-trace, spectral-product, and path-proxy estimates of the Lipschitz constant, turned into non-vacuous bounds.

ML Theory

MDL Symbolic Regression

Equation discovery from raw (x, y) data via the Minimum Description Length principle — AST-based search with slope snapping that recovers the underlying symbolic law, not just a fit.
