Things I've built outside of academic work.

  Origin Map

  An interactive map of origin myths from cultures around the world. Browse creation stories, cosmogonies, and "how the world began" narratives by region, with each entry sourced and cross-referenced. A long-running side project of mine that grew out of reading too much comparative mythology.

  nanoScaling

  A fork of nanoGPT built for scaling studies and optimizer research. Compares optimizers (Muon, Scion, AdamW) via activation statistics and weight-geometry metrics; supports SP / muP / CompleteP parametrizations, spectral logging, and DDP multi-GPU training on OpenWebText and FineWeb-Edu.
