Starting a new project

In the last few years, I have not started any big project. It would have taken too much time. But now with LLM models assisting coding, things changed. It is easier to work on big projects, even as a solo developer. I am building something I had in my mind for a while: a web application that allows children to customise stories. It's still in progress; I am spending part of my weekend and some of my free time to build it.

Work

I am working as a Software Engineer (Contractor) at the Legal Aid Agency - part of the Ministry of Justice. My contract should end in November 2026.

Learning Machine Learning

I recently learned a lot about Large Language Models by watching and studying videos from Andrej Karpathy, in particular Deep Dive into LLMs like ChatGPT. I summarised that video in a long Q&A article: My Notes on Karpathy's LLM Tutorial: 63 Questions and Answers

Sport

I still keep myself active about 4 times per week. This is my routine: a couple of times per week workout at gym (mixed calisthenics and weights), one day climbing, and one day running (parkrun) or cycling. I'm kind of flexible, but rarelly I train less than three days per week.
