Portrait of Sean Miranda

I work on a narrow question: how do you verify what a language model produces, rather than just trust it?

That question runs through my undergraduate thesis, my reading, and NOERΛVEN, the technology organization I'm building on the side. I build close to where software actually runs: Python for evaluation tooling, C, C++ and Rust for systems, shell for everything in between, with deep Linux fluency underneath all of it.

Research

S. Miranda. Praxis Decision: Sparse Upcycling and Committee Distillation of Julia-1 for Typed Decisions. Submitted to arXiv [cs.AI], October 2026.

A sparse mixture-of-experts adaptation of the Julia-1 typed decision model, fine-tuned on document relations, event relations, and evidence-conditioned claim verification. Distilling a probability committee into the model reached 76.5% on a 600-question holdout, 3.3 points above a matched hard-label control.

Projects

NOERΛVEN

An early-stage technology organization spanning AI systems, firmware, and tooling, designed with safety as a first principle rather than an afterthought.

Console

The developer and administrative console for NOERΛVEN services: one place to manage accounts, projects, and infrastructure.

Harness

Chat with models from multiple providers, organize conversations into projects, and bring files and sources into the discussion, so the next step stays close to the context that shaped it.

Essays

Machines of Greater Abstraction August 2026

How software moves complexity upward.

Machines of Marginal Zero August 2026

Scarcity, labor, and value after artificial general intelligence.

Experience

IT Intern Jul–Aug 2023
TDCX

Brought hardware configuration discrepancies close to zero with automated tracking across production departments. Processed 60–90 laptops and peripherals a day for cross-functional teams and resolved 20+ hardware, network, and system tickets across Windows and ChromeOS.
