Using Claude Code to Improve Claude Code: Two Skills That Keep Me Sane
Published:
I’ve been using Claude Code heavily for the past few months — for research projects, web apps, scripts, even writing. And I completely get it now when the creators say they’re using Claude Code to build Claude Code. Once you start working with it seriously, the meta-loop becomes impossible to ignore.
Reward Hacking as a Feature: Using RL Agents to Find System Vulnerabilities
Published:
What if the thing we’ve been trying to prevent — agents exploiting reward functions — is exactly what we need to build more robust systems?
We Don’t Live in One World. We Never Did.
Published:
An essay on plurality — the assumption that everything we encounter is part of a single unified world is not just incomplete, it actively distorts how we think, build, and reason about reality.
Towards the Platonic Representation via Multimodal Contrastive Alignment
Published:
MIT Deep Learning final project exploring whether pre-trained unimodal encoders can be aligned into a shared multimodal latent space using lightweight adapters.

Using C. elegans as a Platform for Multimodal Neural Data
Published:
This talk explores how the nematode C. elegans presents an opportunity for integrating multiple dimensions of neural function. With only 302 neurons, complete connectome mapping, optical transparency, and genetic tractability, C. elegans enables comprehensive study across three fundamental modalities: molecular genetic profiles, network connectivity, and neural activity dynamics.
