What I'm Doing Now
A snapshot of what I'm learning, building, exploring and reading. Updated whenever it stops being accurate.
Last updated September 6, 2026
Currently Learning
- Genetic algorithms, and why fitness function design is harder than the search
- Linear algebra, properly this time rather than as needed
- Reading machine learning papers without bouncing off the notation
Currently Building
- Training an AI to Race in F-Zero — the main project right now, currently focused on the environment interface and getting runs reproducible enough to compare
- This site, as a place to keep the record rather than losing it in a notes app
Currently Exploring
- Genetic algorithms
- Reinforcement learning
- Computer vision
- Robotics simulation
Currently Reading
- Attention Is All You Need — working through it in passes rather than straight through
- Deep Learning with Python — a chapter at a time alongside the papers
The full list, including what I have finished, lives on the reading page.
Goals
- Get an agent to complete a full race, not just survive a corner
- Write up every experiment, including the ones that do not work
- Get comfortable enough with PyTorch that the library stops being the hard part
- Contribute something useful to an open-source project
