I work where the model meets the thing people actually use. A four-lens
equity research desk, a scholarship crawler that may only record what it can
quote, and an offline-first language tutor scheduled by a memory model — all
three deployed, all three still running.
Day to day I'm a bioinformatics technician on oil palm genomics, building the
ETL and the internal tools that carry genotype and phenotype data — including
two AI systems that run entirely on our own server, with no external APIs. My
thesis on graph neural networks for music recommendation took Best Paper at
ICICyTA 2024.
The habit that runs through all of it is refusing to overstate a result. A
blank field beats a plausible wrong one; a model that can't speak to a case
should say so rather than return a number.
