I build systems at the intersection of engineering, research, and product.
At present, I'm developing frontier AI as a member of Microsoft's Superintelligence team. Previously, I worked on data at Inflection AI, training infrastructure at SambaNova Systems, and data systems at LinkedIn.
Mathematics, economics, Go, art, music, and design, the Sharks, and endurance sports.
Always my favorite subject in school, I studied it in college and it resurfaces in many of my other interests.
Especially microeconomics, market structures and failures, and emergent behaviors.
The board game, not the language. When I've been playing regularly, I'm in the single-digit Kyu range.
Picasso, Van Gogh, Ansel Adams, and The Clash.
A fan since the early 2000s thanks to my parents. After several dismal seasons, I'm looking forward to brighter days ahead.
3 marathons and many century rides. Currently training for a thru-hike.
