Here be my current status, coffee setup, reads, and whatever else “Now” entails.

Status

In my fourth year of undergrad, juggling courses and research. Still exploring adversarial machine learning, security around LLMs, AI safety, and interpretability to see what actually interests me.

• One paper submitted to CIKM ‘26, still under review (preprint pending)
• Currently working on 3 parallel research threads, the context-switching is actually quite fun :P
• Hoping to submit a paper this semester in one of the said threads
• Working on random small side projects in my free time, recently built a Telegram bot to file new docs on my homelab server
• Always down to chat or nerd out about almost any topic under the sun :)

Coffee Setup

• I’m using an Aeropress as my daily driver, love the consistently smooth brews
• Recently upgraded to a Timemore C2s grinder after 3 years using a cheap one I bought off a friend
• Still in the exploration phase for beans before I settle down with one brand/roast, although I definitely prefer medium to medium-light roasts

Misc.

• Currently (and gradually) reading Homer’s Iliad (the Samuel Butler translation), and recently started Dostoevsky’s Crime & Punishment.
• Current book recommendation is The Mountain in the Sea: A Novel by Ray Nayler.
• Trying to learn Latin with a friend (using Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata, it’s a great resource!)
