This site is a public development log. I am using it to maintain an active, living record of the work, rather than presenting a curated post-hoc portfolio.
What belongs here:
- AI Research: Technical observations on open models, quantization methods (NVFP4, FP8), and agentic pipelines.
- Speculative Novel: A sci-fi novel exploring synthetic intelligence and human agency, written alongside code.
- Hardware Robotics: An AI-driven embodied robot running locally on a Raspberry Pi 5.
- Agentic Simulation: A game-like, single-operator aircraft leasing simulation.
- Perspectives & Notes: Raw observations as they settle enough to publish.
None of these projects are static or finished. The core purpose of leslieli.dev is to document the trajectory while it is happening.
