Wikipedia Golf
AI agent that autonomously plays Wikipedia Golf: the game of navigating from one page to another using the fewest links possible.
Hey, I'm Justin 👋
I'm an ML engineer who likes building things and understanding why they work. This site is a collection of projects I've built to feed that curiosity. Some to sharpen my understanding of a topic, others just because they sounded fun to make.
I studied math at Northwestern and computational math at Stanford. After a few years working in San Francisco, I moved to Paris to learn French and experience life in Europe. I'm now back home in Texas after more than a decade away.
Outside of work, I like hiking, cooking, playing tennis, and getting my heart broken by the underperformance of Texas A&M football.
