Documents
These are probably what you’re looking for. A summary of the key points follows below!
Education
- Technical University of Denmark (DTU) — MSc in Computer Science and Engineering. September 2026 – expected 2028. Expecting PhD studies after.
- Brown University — Sc.B. in Computer Science and Mathematics. August 2022 – May 2026
- DIS Copenhagen / Københavns Universitet — Semester abroad. Fall 2024
Research Interests
My work clusters into three threads:
- Machine learning — order-invariant ICD-10-CM embeddings (under review at JAMIA, deployed calculator), the NeuroPose 3D-kinematics system in Liqi Shu’s lab at Brown Neurology, and ongoing research engineering at NeuroAI. Undergraduate work has been clinically focused; graduate study broadens the scope.
- Computer systems and high-performance computing — the Weenix kernel, a TCP/IP networking stack from scratch in Go, and micro-architectural performance work (SIMD, hardware counters via PAPI, RAPL energy, cross-ISA ports across AVX2 / ARM NEON-SVE / RISC-V V) on Brown’s OSCAR HPC cluster.
- AI safety and applied AI — zero-knowledge proofs for cryptographic verification of large language models, as a MARS V fellow with the Cambridge AI Safety Hub (mentored by James Petrie, Future of Life Institute); a Magic: The Gathering reinforcement-learning project on OSCAR; agentic-systems work at xAI on
grok-code-fast-1; and reasoning, evaluation, and red-teaming contracts with Anthropic, Mistral, and OpenAI.
Computer vision and security thread through all three but do not stand on their own.

Experience
See resume (PDF).
- Cambridge AI Safety Hub — MARS V Fellow. July – October 2026, Cambridge, UK. Selected for MARS V, a competitive part-time AI-safety research fellowship; working under James Petrie (Future of Life Institute) on zero-knowledge proofs for cryptographic verification of large language models.
- Shu Laboratory, Brown Department of Neurology — Undergraduate Researcher and Technical Lead. October 2023 – Present. Technical lead on NeuroPose; co-lead developer on the ICD-10-CM embedding model.
- NeuroAI Present. neuroai.health. Early-stage venture of academics and clinicians integrating deep learning, reinforcement learning, and generative AI into clinical and research workflows; leading research-engineering across model development, deployment infrastructure, and system design.
- xAI Summer 2025, remote. Contributed to the training of
grok-code-fast-1, xAI’s agentic coding model; built LLM integrations into autonomous agent frameworks and resolved 50+ agentic tool-execution failures. - Independent Research Contracting — Anthropic, Mistral, OpenAI. 2025 – Present. Expert reasoning contributions in code and mathematics for agentic workflows, agentic task design and evaluation, AI safety, and red-teaming.
Selected Projects
- Weenix — Unix-like kernel in ~7,000 lines of C: virtual memory, VFS, system calls, threading, device drivers, interrupt handlers, and file systems. Custom linker support for running userspace x86-64 ELF binaries; extended with pipes and userspace preemption.
- Networking Stack from Scratch — TCP/IP, RIP, UDP, and DNS in Go, supporting file transmission of up to 1 GB across 8-node networks. Extended with a fully RFC-compliant SSH implementation (2,000+ additional lines) supporting sustained sessions of arbitrary length.
- SIMD / PQC Performance Study — Hand-written AVX2 assembly for ML-KEM / Kyber. 35×–56× speedup over compiler-optimized C for core NTT arithmetic; 5.4×–7.1× end-to-end KEM speedup, with a full statistical-analysis pipeline on Brown’s OSCAR cluster.
