Tetraslam

I'm an ML researcher @ MIT and a student at Northeastern University majoring in CS and Linguistics. I've built large-scale, efficient software for my neuromechanics and quantum photonics labs, for satellites, and for agentic video editing startups. I'm looking for full-time roles in language model training, agentic systems, full-stack (I have relatively good product sense), inference, and training VLAs for robots. My most recent projects: I won HackMIT with an autonomous power grid with iron-air batteries and mixed-integer linear programming-based electrical routing. Also built https://github.com/tetraslam/SHFLA; it hit the front page of HN. Over the summer I interned at https://mosaic.so, where I built their developer API, 4 core tiles (intro, outro, watermark, and AI augment), universal media search (search over hundreds of thousands of videos/images/audio in <2s accurately), and social media agents which autonomously find, edit, and post content to great amounts of engagement (>10k impressions per post in testing)

this is so freaking cool; it's the coolest demo i've tried this year and that's a high bar

congrats on the launch and i'll definitely be telling my new company (https://natural.co) about you guys!

this is going to save me so much time, hell yeah guys!

i've been using zo for the past few weeks and it's such a cool computing experience!

:( but what if i wanna fine-tune my brain weights

I’m an ML researcher/engineer at MIT + CS/Linguistics undergrad at Northeastern, looking for freelance roles or internships/co-ops (Jan–Aug 2026) in ML, backend, full-stack, or systems. Also willing to be recruited on an O-1 to the right startup.

Currently interning at a YC W25 startup Mosaic (usemosaic.ai) where I:

- Built the public API, our MCP server, and a video agent that turns longform content into shorts with auto captions and posts them

- Helped scale us to 100+ paying users in closed beta, 4k on the waitlist, and we're launching before my internship ends so you'll probably hear about us soon

Also built SHFLA (https://github.com/tetraslam/SHFLA), a fractal music language that won the MIT Media Lab hackathon, hit HN front page, and got me demo requests from Stephen Wolfram, David Sinclair, Joscha Bach, and Suno AI.

I move fast, write clean code, and deliver 10x what you pay me. I'm also very fun to hang around with and work with! Have several references who can vouch :)

Location: Boston, MA (in San Francisco for the summer)

Remote: Yes, or hybrid in Boston, but willing to get an O-1 and move to SF/NYC for the right startup/company (already fulfill 5 criteria)

Willing to relocate: Anywhere in the US

Technologies: Python, Zig, C/C++, PyTorch, CUDA, Supabase, Redis, FastAPI, NextJS, Slurm, Linux, Tinygrad, Typescript, TailwindCSS, Langchain, HPC, Vite, uv

I hope more people see this.

hey everyone! i built https://onemonth.dev to streamline the process of searching for and vetting learning resources for my dad and some of my friends who aren't really great at searching for things on their own. i've found that i actually get results that make me want to use it myself, and so i thought i'd post the first version i have on here for feedback!

here are some of the features i'm currently building out and planning to release in <2 weeks: - pdf exports - shareable curriculum links - chat with/edit curricula - progress journal

looking forward to hearing what y'all think!

Applied to ~45 jobs directly and got 2 interviews (my resume's fine, i think). posted here last month and got 8 emails within a week -> 3 offers. All at great companies/startups, uber-competent teams, and high-paying roles (like, double what public info shows). complete surprise too, since I was only looking for internships! Definitely a sample of 1, but I'm honestly completely flabbergasted by how helpful that one post was.

Huh. I suppose I should see if I can join Manolis Kellis' lab; I got invited to one of the salons he hosts at his house on the quantum basis of reality and it was really fun! He also demoed a tool his lab is building for genomics knowledge graphing, and I was struck by how incredibly well-designed and empirical the whole project was.

Alright, I took your advice and applied to a bunch of internships at those four :) I'll also cold email some people and see how it goes.

Thanks!

the Force is with them

I'm so adding this in the next version!

yes 100% but the reply to your comment is very funny so I'll implement it in the next version :)

the project started as a shoegaze-specific language, hence the name!

understood, will rework it this week. Thanks for the feedback :)

I know what you mean, and I'll work on it :)

SHFLA is Turing-complete though, so I am hoping people see that it has more potential than just being a music visualizer as I keep improving it! I'm currently in the process of rewriting it in Nim using SDL2, so once I get it to a performant state I'm going to implement an information-as-music encoder and all that.

Hi! I'm a college freshman at Northeastern, and this is my first hackathon project for a major hackathon (MIT Media Lab). It won the Unconventional Computing track prize, so I'm pretty happy! I made this because I'm a major conlanger, and I was wondering if it would be possible to think in terms of sound when looking at an image. Fractals have easy-to-map parameters, so I created SHFLA, a language which takes in music, and creates fractals based on 0.1 second (you can change this) chunks of music! It's Turing-complete, so you can technically encode a ridiculous amount of information and computation in my system, although writing it out as music might take a while.

Hope you find the project cool :)

I'm going to use this line from now on.

Met them at an MIT event last week, they don't quantize any models.
