Software engineer. Nine years of backends for consumer products, and at Turnip I built and scaled the platform to 25M users. Now I work as an indie dev across the whole product lifecycle, from idea to distribution and growth, mostly on open-weights models squeezed for high-quality automation at the lowest cost. An open language model, various apps, media channels that publish without me.

A creative-writing model fine-tuned from Mistral-Nemo with QLoRA and anti-slop DPO, on $40 of GPU. It has the lowest slop score of any 12B measured on EQ-Bench and beats bigger models like Gemma 27B. The weights, the quants, and the full training recipe are public.
