Hi all! My team has worked on large language models such as GPT for 3.5 years and I specialize in transformer models, inference optimization and distributed training. My team operates at the boundary of research and engineering, delivering cutting-edge research from academia into models in production. Previously, I did applied research on perception and prediction models in self-driving cars at Uber ATG. I also had several years of experience in rendering engines and physics simulation at companies like Crystal Dynamics and Blizzard Entertainment before pivoting to machine learning.

I hold a master’s degree in Computer Science from University of Toronto, a master’s degree in Computer Graphics from University of Pennsylvania and a bachelor degree in Mathematics from Duke University.
