I'm a research scientist at the Institute of Foundation Models, working on the pretraining team. My research focuses on optimization of learning algorithms, building better intelligence, and making this affordable and accessible to the world. Someday, I hope to create Jarvis. Prior to this, I was a graduate student at Columbia University advised by Micah Goldblum. During most of my time at Columbia, I was part of Numenta's ML team where I worked on proprietary algorithms to make training LLMs simultaneously faster, and cheaper.
