Now

What I'm focused on

Last updated September 2026. What's a now page?

• Interviewing. In loops with a few frontier labs and consumer-tech teams, mostly for multimodal and ranking roles, working out where I want to spend the next few years. If you're hiring in that space, say hi.
• Going deep on post-training and evals. Mostly by building: training small vision-language models and the eval harnesses that keep them honest. curbcheck is the current one. The question I keep circling is what makes an eval you can actually trust.
• Making Say Yes to Soup. A cozy, Pokémon-style browser RPG about walking the world's villages and letting culture arrive sideways: through soup, slang, and the small corrections people give you. No combat, no timers, nothing to lose.
• Off the keyboard. New season, so watching too much Arsenal, still trying to stop shanking the ball at padel, and hosting poker night in San Jose.
