Velocity

Six weeks, six shipped — nights & weekends.

Day job is senior full-stack consulting. Everything below was built in the off-hours. Preprints on Zenodo, sites on Vercel, all source on GitHub — dates are first commits, not marketing.

  1. markview first release

    Embeddable markdown rendering stack goes public on GitHub — Next.js web app, React SDK, <mark-view> Web Component.

  2. WebGPU benchmark codebase starts

    First commits of what becomes gpubench.dev — browser-based GPU benchmark suite, one dispatch per test.

  3. Kernel-fusion research code lands

    Single-kernel fusion for sequential fitness evaluation — first working WGSL implementation, 720× over PyTorch baseline.

  4. Preprints + sites — four things in one day

    Two Zenodo preprints (720× kernel fusion, 458× transformer fusion) plus the kernelfusion.dev and gpubench.dev site launches — all first-committed the same day.

  5. zero-tvm boots

    Phi-3-mini chat working end-to-end at 27 tok/s — first WebLLM-compatible inference over hand-written WGSL.

  6. safenpm first commit

    Drop-in npm install replacement — sandboxed postinstall, supply-chain detection, decentralized alerts.

  7. webgpu-dna monorepo opens

    Geant4-DNA Monte Carlo ported to WebGPU — modular TypeScript + WGSL. CSDA within 2%, 46/46 unit tests pass.

  8. This site

    Hub goes live. Everything above shipped, indexed, cross-linked. Still shipping.

Work

Six live projects.

Open source, open data, open DOIs. Everything shipped runs in the browser or as a drop-in tool.

Research

Two preprints, public.

Zenodo DOIs. Reviewed-as-you-read style — source, data, and reproducers linked from each.

Approach

The language doesn't matter. The result does.

Listing frameworks is a 2015 résumé. The work on this page spans TypeScript, WGSL, Python, Rust, CUDA, and shell — I don't care which one a problem wants. I care whether the benchmark runs, the tests pass, and the domain resolves.

End-to-end

Code → benchmark → paper → domain, same week.

Two Zenodo preprints, six live sites, eight GitHub repos — first commit to public URL is typically under a week. Research without a deployed artifact is a claim, not a result.

Infra is half the work

I own the whole surface.

DNS, CI, edge caching, preview deploys, SEO, analytics, observability, SSO, billing — I've wired it all on this stack of projects and in prior senior roles. Nothing here sits behind an "it works on my laptop" excuse.

Measure, don't claim

Numbers on this page are reproducible.

592 compute runs + 170 transformer runs live on gpubench, growing by the hour. Apple Silicon averages 2,865× fusion speedup. 46/46 tests on webgpu-dna. CSDA within 2% of Geant4 reference. If it's on this site, the code is on GitHub and the benchmark runs in your browser.

Track record

Where I've been shipping.

Day-job progression: founding engineer → senior consultant at a Big Six media holding group. The research line above happens alongside — nights, weekends, DOIs.
