01C / SYSTEMSMini Database
Engine
In progress
Mini Database
Engine
A simple database engine built from scratch in C to develop a deeper understanding of low-level systems.
Individual components and results are not yet documented.
02PYTHON / LLM TOOL USEAdaptive AI
Coding Agent
In progress
Adaptive AI
Coding Agent
A repository-aware coding agent with an iterative LLM tool-calling loop for inspecting files, editing code, running shell commands, and validating changes with tests.
The evaluation layer is designed to benchmark and route models using correctness, token usage, latency, tool calls, and cost.

Pokémon
Research
Fly Plays
Pokémon
A Pokémon Showdown research project built around a FlyWire-derived fruit-fly connectome. The model will encode battle states, propagate sparse neural activity through a biologically constrained network, and decode legal moves and switches.
The initial milestone is behavior cloning recorded Gen 1 OU decisions, comparing the connectome-constrained policy with control topologies, and visualizing battle and neural telemetry in a web interface.
