Work - bugs bugs bugs!

After a two-week holiday break I am back to work as a Software Engineer at the Legal Aid Agency (part of Ministry of Justice) I am currently focused on bug fixing and improving the codebase of a couple of Ruby on Rails legacy projects. It may sound stressful... and indeed it is. The trick is to share the pain with your workmates :) Bugs are frustrating, but once you find and fix them, it's very satisfying!

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.

It is three and a half hours long and covers the full training stack of how the models are developed, along with mental models of LLMs "psychology", and how to get the best out of them in practical applications.

I liked that video so much that I am writing a long Q&A style article about it.

Sport

It's cold and rainy in the UK, but I still keep myself active 4 or 5 times per week.

I like Climbing (bouldering) but I've not been consistent in 2025, I am still a newbie.

Climbing is an amazing sport, I started practising more at Oakwood Climbing Centre, with the goal of climbing more difficult walls.

The best part is going with my 15 year old son. It is so satisfying to watch him trying again and again the same wall until he completes it.

I also stay active doing some Calisthenics and Weights in the gym and run Woodley Parkrun on Saturday.
