Five years shipping AI from research to production.

Currently building AURA — a 30B multimodal foundation model generating 2K video + synchronized stereo audio in a single forward pass, with sampling cut from 50 steps to ≤8 via Rectified Flow + step distillation.

"A model that only works at fifty sampling steps is a research result, not a product."

The through-line across all of it: inference budgets — getting capable models to run fast, cheap, and reliably outside the lab.

🔭 What I'm Building

🎬 AURA 30B multimodal foundation model. 2K video + stereo audio in one forward pass. 50-step sampling distilled to ≤8 via Rectified Flow + Latent Consistency Models. PyTorch DiT Rectified Flow Distributed Training

📜 Sigil Mobile app converting spoken agreements into binding micro-contracts. The LLM runs entirely on-device — zero cloud round-trips, complete privacy. On-device SLMs Speech Processing Privacy-first

⚡ SemantiCache Semantic LLM caching. 61% cache hit rate on real chatbot data. Cut API costs 40–70% with one Python decorator. Zero external dependencies. Python Sentence Transformers SQLite MIT

🌍 Open Source

Correctness fixes over cosmetic changes — every fix ships with a failing-then-passing test, and each one is reproduced and root-caused before a line is written.
