ML Engineer · 5+ years in NLP & LLMs
# trained from scratch. no pre-trained weights.
Initialized with a Mechanical Engineering degree, pre-trained on curiosity, and fine-tuned by an unreasonable number of late nights — 5+ years of gradient descent through NLP, LLMs, and generative AI. Currently inference-serving at Apple. I write about ML here so you don't have to train from scratch too.
Apple — multi-agentic systems & LLM research
Notebooks GM, Competitions Master
Dynamic intent detection system
ME degree → ML through sheer will

Each milestone is a neuron. Experiences flow forward. Lessons backpropagate. The loss is still decreasing.

“You don’t need a low initial loss. You need a good learning rate and the patience to keep training.”

Tokenization is the invisible foundation of every LLM. This post traces how it evolved from simple word splitting to BPE, WordPiece, Unigram, and SentencePiece — and why the choice of tokenizer shapes everything downstream.
