Hi, I'm Miguel.

I work with LLMs. I love learning about how they work and building apps that apply them in interesting ways.

You should check out inContext, a language learning app I built with a friend. It gives you things to read at your level, on topics you actually care about. I learned a lot about language acquisition before ML, as an English teacher and a Japanese student in Japan.

I've also been building agents for the past few years at Aily Labs in New York. Earlier this year I took a few months at the Recurse Center, where I built a language model from scratch and fine-tuned Claro, a small model that simplifies text for language learners.

  • ClaroA fine-tuned Gemma 3 4B that rewrites complex English at an elementary (CEFR A2) level while keeping the facts. Trained on a Mac with supervised fine-tuning, then RL.model ⋅ post ⋅ github
  • inContext NotebookA daily language learning app. You read personalized content at your level, on topics you actually care about.website
  • inContext DictionaryA browser extension that gives definitions based on the context of a word and your level. It handles words regular dictionaries can't, and exports to Anki.chrome store
  • TauA browser-based AI agent framework with no server. Built with Alex.app ⋅ website ⋅ github
  • inContext LiteA no-backend version of inContext. You bring your own API key.app ⋅ github
