I'm Andrea, a software developer working on local LLM inference.

I build [Hebrus](https://github.com/andreaborio/hebrus), a Metal-first inference engine for Apple Silicon with adaptive SSD streaming. Most of the work starts with a model that does not fit, a machine that should not be enough, and a measurement I do not trust until I can reproduce it.

Before this I worked on cloud infrastructure. Some habits survived: make the bottleneck visible, test the obvious answer, and keep the claim narrower than the evidence.

I also work on [forgequant](https://github.com/andreaborio/forgequant), [benchy](https://github.com/andreaborio/benchy), and an experimental [ds4 fork](https://github.com/andreaborio/ds4). Model artifacts and experimental builds live on [Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/andreaborio). This site holds the field notes: what ran, what stalled, and which promising idea got slower when measured properly.

Away from the terminal, I mix techno, UK garage, and whatever other underground neurospicy shit has made it into the folder that week.
