My work sits at the intersection of computer vision, multimodal learning, and neural network efficiency. I care about building models that are both powerful and practical. I'm very interested in learning from multiple modalities and how to best make use of raw data that is inherently multimodal.
| Project Higlights | Venue | What it is about |
|---|---|---|
| 🏠 CASA -- Cross-Attention Strikes Back | ECCV 2026 | Vision-language model with cross-attention for scalable streaming inference |
| M👁️shiVis -- Kyutai with an "eye" | CVPR 2026 | Adds visual understanding to the Moshi speech model with a data-efficient training pipeline |
| MSViT -- Mixed-Scale Tokenization | ICCV NViT Workshop, 2023 | Dynamic token scaling for Vision Transformers based on image content |
| Scalarization for Multi-Task Learning | NeurIPS, 2023 | Large-scale study of multi-task/domain training dynamics + population-based optimization |
| Knowledge Distillation: A good teacher is patient and consistent (oral) | CVPR, 2022 | Patient & consistent teacher = surprisingly strong distillation recipe |

I enjoy building tools for automating my daily tasks; Only one constraint: They need to have cute names and/or aesthetics.
- 🍬 PeperNoten -- A CLI tool to parse arXiv papers into Obsidian-ready markdown research notes. It slowly builds a knowledge base of research papers, clustered into topics, which you can then connect to via MCP.
- 📖 Grimoire -- A research logbook built by parsing and comparing MLFlow runs: Select the runs you want to compare, Claude writes a first analysis for you and you can then add your own comments and notes. Like PeperNoten, you can access your grimoire via MCP to quickly check your previous conclusions and analyses.
- 🍫 PRaline -- Did your number of PRs to review dramatically increase with the advent of Claude ? PRaline helps you get these first PR review comments in, and builds a knowledge base of common issues, bugs, pain points with each merged PR in your repo
- 📎 PocketPal -- Bring some fun to your remote working days by turning Claude into a cute voice assistant using on-device Speech-to-Text and Text-to-Speech.
Small experiments and one-off builds:
- 🎄 Advent of Code -- A list of my past Advent of Code participations
- 🕵️ Codenames Solo -- solo mode for the Codenames boardgame, powered by GPT and Streamlit
- 🌊 Glow JAX -- clean JAX/Flax implementation of the Glow generative model
