Here I collect recent projects, papers, and talks. Most projects stem from work in the industry or are part of my PhD. I enjoy specialised, under-explored, and niche areas while keeping an eye on the final product. Nothing gets me more excited than a challenging improvement to low-level infrastructure that results in large impact.
