Passing down what we know. Discovering what's next.

Father of two, tech lover. Building systems by day, raising curious minds by night. I write hands-on guides and reproducible experiments on running, fine-tuning and evaluating AI locally on Apple Silicon, on AI agents, and on how AI changes software and finance. The code behind every experiment is on GitHub: github.com/hslimi/night-thoughts
