von-steinkirch/README.md

👋🏼 Hello!

I am a theoretical physicist by training (B.Sc. at University of Sao Paulo; M.Sc. en route, Ph.D. at Stony Brook University; graduate research at the Los Alamos National Laboratory and Brookhaven National Laboratory; undergraduate research at NASA Goddard Space Center) and a principal software engineer by trade (Shopify, Apple, Etsy, Yelp, startups, and private projects — both as an individual contributor and in leadership roles).

I started coding in middle school and have spent my entire life working on engineering && science. My story with AI/ML started back in high school when I received the first place on a national competition with Expert Systems ("AI Doctor"), during my PhD when I was working on my thesis on the equation of state of neutron stars at Los Alamos (I also took graduate classes in ML and robotics at that time), then at many moments during my engineering jobs.

Now, with LLMs and the many fascinating advances in the field, I've been building and researching a range of projects — running my fleet of agents through my own custom harness and memory stack, experimenting with and testing local models, reading research papers and technical literature, and writing lots of code at my colorful Linux workstations. I am grateful to have been able to dedicate every day to my passion — constantly learning, experimenting, and deepening my knowledge during these extraordinary days of technological acceleration — and I hope to do so until the very last breath of my existence.


🌟 Open-source examples of my work (mostly from my free time, as the bulk of my professional work has been proprietary)

1️⃣ Some of my code before AI: here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here

2️⃣ Some of my code after AI: here, here, here, and here

3️⃣ Some of my (pre-AI) technical writing that I'm proud of: here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here

(You can also explore the rest of my open-source code && research across these four github orgs)
