I'm Sid. I like to learn stuff and make things. I try to make things that are useful for people. A few years ago, I created Semantic, a development agency, where I do strategy, engineering, and design for companies building cool products. My focus is in natural language processing, LLMs (finetuning, post-training, and integration), and workflow automation.
Outside of tech, I enjoy researching new topics, practicing yoga, and making music.
Traces a single computational pattern — score, select, retrieve — across AI transformers, biological brains, contemplative traditions, and the attention economy, arguing that attention is not a feature of minds but a consequence of finitude.
