Hey, I'm Evan

AI researcher and systems engineer with 10+ years shipping production systems at scale. Former Co-Founder & CTO at QWERKY AI, where I distilled 70B-parameter LLMs into 3B-8B hybrid models on 24 H200 GPUs with a pending patent on novel attention architectures. Currently pursuing my MS in Computer Science at Georgia Tech (BS CS, Summa Cum Laude, University of South Carolina). I've led teams of 20+ engineers and shipped 15+ production applications across AI, blockchain, and distributed systems.

What I'm Working On

Nightly -- Turns your coding CLI into a self-directed, drainable session that lands review-shaped PRs by morning
Corpus Forge -- Filesystem-to-SQL sync with vector embeddings for storing and serving sovereign AI models
Autosentry -- Self-healing supervisor for long-running processes -- watch, catch the failure, fix it, leave a paper trail
LLM Architecture Research -- Custom CUDA kernels for novel attention mechanisms (pending patent)
State Space Models -- Mamba SSM architecture in Modular's MAX framework (selective scan, causal conv1d, RMSNorm kernels in Mojo)

Featured Work

Nightly Turns your coding CLI (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini) into a self-directed, drainable session that lands review-shaped PRs by morning.	Corpus Forge Syncs a local filesystem with a SQL database and vector embeddings -- storage and serving for sovereign AI models.
Autosentry Self-healing supervisor for long-running processes -- watch a command, catch the failure, fix it, leave a paper trail.	Modular MAX Framework Mamba SSM architecture with custom selective scan, causal conv1d, and RMSNorm kernels in Mojo
QWERKY AI Distilled 70B→3B-8B hybrid models on 24 H200 GPUs. 4x inference throughput, 1M token context. Pending patent on novel attention architecture.	Pulley iOS Maps-style drawer library with 2k+ stars, created at 52 Inc.
