Interests
Home servers and cheap compute
I like machines that stay on in a closet. Raspberry Pi, a small Linux box, containers. If a service needs a credit card every month, I would rather run it myself.
Models that stay local
Ollama, MCP, tools that read my notes and files without shipping them out. I want the model next to the data, not the other way around.
Markets and systems
IMC Prosperity, statistical arbitrage experiments, crawlers. I like problems where the scoreboard is a number and the code has to keep up.
