Software I use, hardware I love, and other things I recommend.
For anyone wondering about the things I use to stay productive, or buy to fool myself into thinking I’m being productive when I’m really just procrastinating. Here’s a big list of all of my favorite stuff.
Software
PyTorch
My primary framework for deep learning tasks. I used PyTorch to develop NLP models in collaboration with Meta, focusing on transformer architectures and fine-tuning for specific tasks such as text classification.
Python
Utilized extensively in AI research projects, including the co-authorship of papers presented at EMNLP and BCUR. Python has been a core language in building and training machine learning models in PyTorch.
Next.js
The primary framework for building modern, server-side rendered web applications in my projects. I used Next.js to create a login form and other components for interactive platforms.
C++
Won me a medal in my national olympiad in computer science.
Tools
Visual Studio Code
I don’t care if it’s missing all of the fancy IDE features everyone else relies on, VS Code is still the best code editor ever made.
Wandb
Trusted companion for over 300 training runs.
Nuvolos
Great cloud provider for scientific computing. Deployed to tackle HPC workloads and memory intensive applications.
Design
Figma
We started using Figma as just a design tool but now it’s become our virtual whiteboard for the entire lab. Never would have expected the collaboration features to be the real hook.
Productivity
Notion
The best generalist software, great flexibility and AI functionalities, with potential for scheduling and task management.
Slack
Digital HQ. Where I coordinate with teams all across the world with top notch features.
Cal
Meeting scheduling integrated with every calendar and with any timezone.
Chatgpt
AI assistant that helps me with writing and research tasks.
