Principal Data & AI Engineer @ VML MAP (WPP) · P1 Affiliated Researcher @ AI Centre Denmark · Copenhagen 🇩🇰
I build production-grade agentic AI systems and resilient data/ML platforms, while studying how sparsity and modularity emerge in dense language models—and how to turn that structure into real efficiency wins.
Right now I'm working through Antikythera's What Is Intelligence? curriculum and replicating Anthropic's interpretability studies to stay grounded before pushing the frontier.
- 🔬 Current project: Scaling Specialization in Dense LMs (sparsity & modularity vs. model size; dynamic-k inference)
- 🧠 Focus: sparse autoencoders (SAEs), mechanistic interpretability, scaling laws, evaluation/reliability
- 🛠️ Stack: Python, HF/Transformers, Snowflake/BigQuery, GCP/AWS, dbt, Spark/Glue, Vertex/Cloud Run, CI/CD, cost/perf
