Why this site has two sides

Most personal sites quietly sand their owner down to one clean label. Engineer. Designer. Producer. Pick the identity that looks best in a navigation bar and leave the rest for another profile.

That never felt right here.

Side A, side B

My days revolve around applied AI: multi-agent systems, research papers, tools that have to work outside a demo, and the practical questions that show up once a model meets a real workflow.

After hours, I make hip-hop beats as sledg3r. That work uses a different vocabulary—samples, drums, pockets, melodies—but not a completely different part of my brain. Both start with listening closely, finding a pattern, and shaping a messy set of possibilities into something another person can use.

So the site treats them like two sides of the same record rather than two unrelated résumés.

What is under the sleeve

The pages are built with Next.js and prerendered where they can be. Posts are MDX files in the repository, project data is plain TypeScript, and Last.fm supplies the small listening strip under the navigation. There is no database or CMS to maintain.

The visual system is intentionally small: Fraunces for the expressive moments, Inter for reading, JetBrains Mono for the utility layer, cool paper or blue-black backgrounds, and one indigo signal running through both themes. The record in the hero is CSS and SVG, so the idea lands without asking a phone to render a miniature 3D scene forever.

I wanted the site to feel designed but not decorated. The marginal notes, fine rules, and roomy type give the content structure; motion stays concentrated in the one object that actually represents the premise.

What belongs here

The projects page is the proof: agentic research tools, multi-model experiments, generative music, and older computer-vision work. Writing is where the reasoning can stretch out—benchmarks, architecture choices, useful failures, and occasional notes from the music side.

The list will change as the work does. That is the point of owning the surface.

Thanks for stopping by.
