About

Hi, I'm Daniel

Software Engineer

I started by creating Minecraft mods in 2013. Now, 13 years later, I train frontier coding and math models and agents through RLHF. I also build systems based on research papers and create mini crosswords.

I maintain is-there-a-drought.info, a website for RLHF gig workers to anonymously report their workload and get an aggregate view of others'. The site also provides resources for job hunting and taxes.

I'm currently on the hunt for a backend/AI role. Feel free to email me using the form below or view my work history here.
