Greetings traveler, my name is terps. I write here to learn out loud, mostly machine learning and deep learning, with side trips into the meta-skills that actually move the needle: decision-making, problem framing, and how to learn fast.
If something here is useful, wrong, or sparks an idea, reach me at [email protected] or @terpsfi.
What I’m spending time on
Right now my hands-on hours go to two places: model distillation, and agent RL / agentic workflows. In the background I’m grinding Math Academy daily so the calculus and linear algebra under all of this stops being a hand-wave.
Why this blog exists
The fastest way I know to find the holes in my understanding is to try and explain a thing simply. So this is the public notebook. Half tutorial, half journal, mostly an excuse to keep showing up.
