About Hexis

Hello everyone, my name is Pearse Jim, and I am a machine learning research engineer based in Nigeria. My background combines embedded mechatronics from FUNAAB with statistical modelling from WorldQuant University. I build learning systems designed to function within strict computational constraints. Recently, I compressed recursive reasoning models onto 4 MB microcontrollers in work accepted at ICLR 2026 alongside collaborators from ML Collective and Carnegie Mellon University. I also trained a Yoruba pronunciation assessment engine across 118 hours of speech, which currently serves sub-second acoustic feedback on standard dual-core CPUs at yorubalanguageapp.com. For this cohort, I am building Hexis, an automated daily study and diagnostic engine for Nigerian primary and secondary school students. Nigerian families invest heavily in school fees, yet students frequently experience an invisible learning gap during the term. Many parents return home exhausted after several hours in traffic and cannot supervise daily homework. Hiring a private home tutor costs between ₦20,000 and ₦50,000 each month. Meanwhile, existing school assessment portals record whether an answer is incorrect without isolating the specific conceptual misunderstanding behind the error. Hexis establishes a focused 15-minute daily study routine. The platform diagnoses conceptual misunderstandings across historical WAEC and JAMB examinations. It explains difficult concepts through lightweight 400 KB vector whiteboard animations to conserve expensive mobile data. After each session, Hexis sends a 60-second verification check to the parent through WhatsApp so parents can verify comprehension during dinner. This week, I am launching our first pilot study with parents to evaluate daily study consistency. I welcome conversations about model compression, speech processing, and educational software designed for emerging markets.
