About

The Story

The Artist's Beginning

My journey started in the traditional art world, where I discovered the magic of bringing imagination to life through pixels and polygons. What began as a fascination with 3D modeling and digital art quickly evolved into something much deeper - a quest to understand the very nature of creativity itself. Like the guache textures that now flow seamlessly through this portfolio, I believe in creating visual harmony between form and function.

Recognition & Milestones

• META Award Winner 2015: Most Innovative CG Artist
• Featured in 3D Artists Magazine: Published work reaching global creative community
• BlenderGuru Top 10: Recognized among the world's best 3D artists
• Processing Foundation: Featured in their 25th Anniversary Community Catalog

The Transformation

But creating beautiful things wasn't enough. I wanted to understand how beauty emerges, why certain patterns captivate us, and what makes art truly move people. This curiosity led me down the rabbit hole of artificial intelligence - not to replace human creativity, but to augment and understand it. Just as this portfolio's background creates visual coherence, I strive to create conceptual coherence between artistic vision and technological innovation.

The Researcher

Today, I publish papers at top-tier AI conferences (ICLR, CVPR), lead teams building cutting-edge AI products, and serve as a reviewer helping shape the future of machine learning research. My work explores:

• Ethical AI Attribution: Solving the artist credit crisis through normalizing flow frameworks
• Interpretable Neural Networks: Moving beyond black-box AI with Banach space compositions
• Democratic AI Access: Making powerful models run on phones instead of servers
• Honest AI Systems: Building uncertainty quantification into AI responses

The Builder

With over a decade of development experience, I've shipped everything from mobile apps to enterprise AI systems. I believe in learning by building, teaching by sharing, and leading by example.

Current Projects:

• AI Attribution Framework: Giving proper credit to artists whose work influences AI-generated content
• HumbleGPT: AI that includes confidence scores and can say "I don't know"
• LaViT: Vision transformers with linear complexity that run on mobile devices
• Basher: Full creative control over AI video generation through Blender integration
• ML/RL Playgrounds: Interactive AI education with zero server costs using WebAssembly

Philosophy

Deep Generalist Approach

I've never believed in choosing between art and science, creativity and logic, imagination and reason. The most interesting problems live at the intersections, and the most innovative solutions come from connecting seemingly unrelated fields. Like the unified visual language that flows through this portfolio, I bring consistency and coherence to diverse disciplines.

First Principles Thinking

Whether I'm designing a neural network architecture or composing a piece of generative art, I start from fundamental questions: What are we really trying to achieve? What assumptions can we challenge? How can we build something genuinely new? This approach creates the visual and conceptual consistency that you see throughout this portfolio - every element serves both aesthetic and functional purposes.

Conscious AI Collaboration

AI systems are sophisticated but unconscious collaborators. The breakthrough happens when conscious beings direct these powerful tools toward ethical, transparent, and democratically accessible outcomes. This is what I call "conscious direction of AI collaboration."

Current Focus

The neuralguach Method

My approach creates seamless integration between visual design and functional excellence, mirroring the unified aesthetic you see in this portfolio. I combine:

• Visual Consistency that extends from design to code architecture
• Ethical frameworks that respect original creators
• Transparent systems that explain their reasoning
• Democratic access through efficient architectures
• Human agency maintained through conscious direction
• First principles thinking applied to every problem

This isn't just philosophy - it's proven through working systems that solve real problems in AI development, with the same attention to cohesive design that you experience in this portfolio's unified background aesthetic.
