👋 Hi, here is a little bit about me:)

I'm Jaward Sesay, a CS grad student at Beijing Institute of Technology specializing in AI/ML research, with focus on Autonomous Agents and Large Language Models. Earlier in my AI journey, I had the honour of co-authoring my first paper (AutoAgents) with leading researchers, this paper was later accepted at IJCAI 2024. I am a devoted open-source/open-science contributor with projects that the open-source community love (GitHub | HuggingFace). Currently, I'm building my first AI startup Lectūra Labs — an AI+Education lab focused on research and development of AI-native tools and models that empower individual learners to master needed self-taught skills. My AI journey began after watching Andrej Karpathy's "Neural Networks - Zero to Hero" — he's been my role-model/sensei ever since. I weekly practice implementing groundbreaking AI papers & algorithms from first principles, often under compute constrained conditions (i.e gpu poor, training nns on 8gb cpu), you can checkout the repo here: nanoAI Algorithms. I often post about my work on Twitter and Huggingface, stay in touch.
