What I'm Working On

I'm interested in the intersection of model architecture and inference efficiency — specifically, why modern sequence models are designed the way they are, where they fail, and whether simpler alternatives can close the gap.

Right now I'm building PULSE — an experimental O(n) architecture that replaces the standard SSM + Attention + State stack with a single uniform block. It's not finished. It's a research project where I'm learning by building from scratch.

Current focus areas:

  • Linear attention and its approximation trade-offs
  • Kernel-based sequence models vs. softmax attention
  • Hardware-aware algorithm design (memory hierarchy, tiling, compute efficiency)
  • Why Flash Attention works at the kernel level — working through the math

Projects

PyTorch Python Research

An experimental sequence architecture exploring whether a single O(n) primitive (local convolution + linear attention + gated fusion) can replace the complexity of transformer-style stacks. Active development — see the repo for current status and known issues.
