Karimulla Naik

Independent builder working on AI system understanding, LLM inference experiments, and alternative sequence architectures. I like tools that make complex software and models inspectable.

$ sydes trace "/users" --method POST

→ matched endpoint
  repo: api
  handler: create_user

→ traced downstream calls
  route → service → repository

→ detected sink
  database write: db.commit()

artifact: trace_graph.json

Research taste

I am interested in systems where the boundary between software engineering, ML research, and infrastructure becomes blurry.

Program understanding Turning real codebases into inspectable flow graphs.
Inference optimization Memory-aware serving, KV-cache design, and decode-time shortcuts.
Sequence architecture Exploring spectral, recurrent, and low-rank alternatives to attention.
$ python train_assm.py

model: spectral-shift mixer
goal: reduce attention dependence
eval: val_bpb, throughput, params

step 0200  val_bpb=1.31
step 0400  val_bpb=1.28
step 0600  val_bpb=1.26

notes: keep experiments small, measurable, reproducible
