Greetings! Stranger

I explore

I’m an AI Engineer with a Sociology and Anthropology background — my work spans sociolinguistics and social-science research on one side, and applied AI, agent systems, and multimodal machine learning on the other. Off the clock, I tinker with computer hardware and bikes, make music, and build the occasional game mod.😁

📚 My Research

I previously trained and worked as a social science researcher with a background in sociology and anthropology. My earlier work focused on religion, ethnic minority cultures and the relations between different ethnic groups.

Currently, my main focus has shifted to computational neuroscience × machine learning. I am particularly interested in brain encoding/decoding models and representation learning, with an emphasis on vision and multimodal learning.

Please feel free to reach out 😃
