Hi, I'm Daniel! Welcome to My Homepage

I was born in Ireland but moved to Jerusalem, Israel ten years ago to fulfill a lifelong dream of living in the Jewish state. It was the best decision of my life.

Professionally, my background is in technology communications. These days, I'm hopelessly fascinated by AI, LLMs, and exploring how prompt engineering can make discovering and analysing meaningful data both more accessible and more effective.

When I’m not thinking about how AI can make technology more accessible or working on something creative, you’ll find me working in non-profit communications (or drinking Guinness; but usually not both at the same time).

Things Tickling My Curiosity At The Moment

Generative AI & LLMs

I recently condensed a lot of random Github repos into a (kind of) organised docs site. I share some notes about prompting; experiments; and other non-AI-related tech things. (Repo index)

Prompt Engineering

I'm particularly interested in exploring approaches to leveraging small chunks of contextual data to dramatically improve the quality and relevance of LLM inference. How to leverage the kind of "small" nuggets of contextual data that's a little too basic (and personal) for RAG workflows is a big interest. Check out this project.

LLM-Native Knowledge Base

I'm in the minority of AI enthusiasts who believe that storing outputs, even non-selectively, has potentially huge downstream value in prompt optimisation, knowledge generation, knowledge aggregation, and much, much more. Because nobody seems to have developed a KM system for managing the outputs of LLM workflows, I'm hacking together my own one whenever I have time. The prototypes have been functional but basic. When I have something worth sharing, it will be open-source! (Repo with notes)

Why the sloths?

Before I realised that AI could be used to write home automation programs, Python utilities, and all other manner of amazing things, my primary applications for it were writing emails in Shakespearean English and generating ridiculous photos of sloths in human contexts using DALLE.

As I still enjoy creating them and they fit the vibe, I've kept them around and coopted them as a sort of signature. Also, yes, I'm weird. Do I need a better explanation?

Thanks for dropping by!

Daniel
