Building The Future With Artificial Intelligence.
Staff AI & Machine Learning Engineer specializing in Large Language Models, Multi-Agent Autonomous Architectures, Computer Vision, and High-Throughput Inference Systems. Stanford M.S., 14 publications across NeurIPS, ICLR, and CVPR.
Bridging Frontier AI Research With Real-World Systems
With 8+ years leading machine learning initiatives across Silicon Valley and academic research institutes, I build intelligence architectures that operate reliably in production at scale.
My AI Journey
My trajectory began in pure mathematics and statistical learning at MIT, transitioning into high-dimensional representation learning during my graduate research at Stanford AI Lab under Dr. Michael Liang.
Over the last four years, my focus has converged on large foundation models: extending effective context windows via dynamic state compression, eliminating hallucinations through hybrid topological retrieval, and building autonomous agent networks capable of verifiable multi-step execution.
Engineering Philosophy
No metric vanity. Every model is evaluated against adversarial benchmarks, slice-based test suites, and strict human calibration.
Intelligence is unusable if it is too slow. I prioritize kernel optimization, FP8 quantization, and PagedAttention to achieve sub-second TTFT.
Autonomous models must never execute unbounded actions. I build deterministic safety guardrails and sandboxed execution runtimes.
