I build systems where models meet meaning. Over the past few years, I’ve worked across open source, devtools, consumer, and multimodal AI — from designing frameworks that help developers integrate Visual Language Models into production, to building narrative-aware agents that understand long videos and movies. Here's my recent experience: * Consulting early-stage startups on visual language models, eval systems, and AI agents for multimodal data. * One of the leads and open-source maintainers for a popular ML framework, PyTorch Lightning (~5 million downloads per month), where I led a range of features, such as TPU Pod training to distributed training strategies on various ML accelerators for large-scale models. Additionally, led a team in open-sourcing a framework for deploying diffusion models. * Cofounder at Sequels AI (sequels.ai), where we've built an Agentic AI Television OS that revolutionizes viewing experiences through contextually relevant content adaptation - licensed the tech to an a16z-backed startup. * Consultant at Guardrails AI for Open Source and Partnership Initiatives, where I led integrations for Langchain, LlamaIndex, and Nvidia Nemo Guardrails.
