About me
My name is Christopher Milan.
I like touching computers. Physical hardware deserves admiration; renting is for suckers.
I studied at UCLA from 2021 to 2025, where I recieved bachelor's degrees in (pure) math and computer science. While at UCLA I ran the AI Safety club at UCLA, and I have a page there too.
Interests
Here is a list of some of my interests:
- Low-level programming: C, Assembly, Architecture.
- Reverse engineering: I played pwn and rev for PBR, UCLA's CTF team.
- Compiler and language design: Mostly toy compilers for toy languages, but I am a contributor to tinygrad.
- Skiing
- Climbing
- Photography

Writing
- [Winter 2025] How to build a GPU cluster — A talk about how I built AI Safety at UCLA's GPU cluster.
Additionally, I have some older posts (mostly about the cluster) on the AI safety blog.
