systems research music

Rudra Tiwari

Full-stack Developer · Researcher · Music Producer

I build things across tooling, machine learning, and creative work. Right now that means systems software like Munchkin, research on parameter-efficient deep learning with TRIADS, and a growing body of projects, notes, and music that document what I am learning in public.

About Me

What I Work On

I am interested in the overlap between first-principles thinking, software systems, and scientific research. A lot of my work starts with a question that seems slightly too annoying or too niche to leave alone, then turns into a tool, a paper, or a longer thread of investigation.

That has recently taken the form of multi-account CLI tooling, productivity software, materials-property prediction research, and ongoing notes around AI, compression, and neuroscience. I care less about sounding finished and more about building work that is careful, testable, and worth revisiting.

Current Focus

Building practical developer tooling with strong systems ergonomics.

Researching small-data, parameter-efficient deep learning architectures.

Publishing work and maintaining a public trail of notes, experiments, and source code.

Research & Writing

Preprints, papers, and the working notes behind them.

Why "Infinite" Lossless Compression Fails

A 2026 paper published on Zenodo exploring the theoretical impossibility of infinite lossless compression and offering a clarifying framework around the idea.

Listen to My Songs

Original music is part of this portfolio too. It is where I get to work with emotion, pacing, and atmosphere instead of just systems and papers.
