My name is Miles Howell, and I’m a builder at heart. My journey through technology hasn’t been a straight line — it started with a childhood curiosity that’s since grown, thanks to a foundation in physics, mathematics and systems engineering, into a professional passion. I now focus on unraveling the unexpected, emergent behaviors we’re beginning to find in current LLMs.

This background gives me a unique perspective. I see ML not just as abstract algorithms, but as a part of a larger system — one that involves clean code, thoughtful user experience, and real-world application. How will AI evolve alongside humanity? And will the two ever meaningfully intertwine?

Why This Blog?

Professionally, I run Planned Pixel Studio, where I help businesses build a strong online presence. But this blog is a space for something different. It’s a place for exploration.

While the AI world is buzzing with large-scale models and mainstream applications, I believe some of the most fascinating challenges lie in the margins. This blog is my commitment to exploring the underrepresented, niche, and often-overlooked areas of machine learning research.

My goal is to dive deep into topics that don’t always make the headlines but hold immense potential for innovation and impact.

What You Can Expect

Here, we’ll venture beyond the basics. I’ll be documenting my projects, sharing my findings, and thinking out loud about the future of intelligent systems.

Expect posts on topics like:

• Exploring emergent properties as ML models continue to scale.
• Fine-tuning smaller, specialized language models for unique tasks.
• Creative applications of semantic search and vector embeddings.
• The intersection of ML and cybersecurity.
• Building practical, human-centered AI tools from the ground up.

This is a learning journey for me as much as it is a platform for sharing. If the work here resonates with you, feel free to reach out. I’d love to collaborate with someone who shares similar perspectives.
