Who I Am

Hey! My name is Ian. I'm currently working at Google as a Software Engineer. Currently trying to see what ML stuff I can make, and see what ideas I can get for future research. At this point, I am mostly trying to see what interesting things can be done with LLM Agents.

I've mostly been reading research papers on modern NLP and IR. However, I will always recommend "Understanding Machine Learning From Theory to Algorithms," by Shai Ben-David and Shai Shalev-Shwartz, as I love the theory in this book.

Besides that, I also enjoy doing a few side projects to try out different learning algorithms and technologies. I also like implementing different ML algorithms that I've read about, since I find this the best way to learn.
