About me
I’m San. I work on AI at eBay, write about the things I’m trying to understand, and make small worlds you can explore.

Work and interests
My day-to-day work is in language models and information extraction. Before that I studied computer science at UC San Diego, designed chips at Texas Instruments, and studied electrical engineering at NIT Karnataka.
I’m interested in what AI can do in the physical world, how we make powerful systems go well, and the places we might choose to build. Some of that becomes research. Some becomes an essay, a film, or an experiment.
Films and space projects
Paper Robots is where I turn selected ideas into illustrated essays and animated films. Dyson Swarm is my space collection, including a walk inside an O’Neill cylinder and a simulation of a civilization building around a star.
This site keeps the wider picture: the research, the projects that worked, the startup that didn’t, and the path between them. The writing and experiments here are my own explorations.
