Hello! I’m an AI engineer at Galileo, with a strong track record of building AI systems. My passion is turning cutting-edge research into real-world impact and I thrive on tackling ambitious AI challenges from prototype to production.

• Open source: I released BRAG - a series of high-performance open-source LLMs for RAG.

• Recognition: Named one of the Top AI Developers to Watch in 2023.

• Hacking:

  • 1st prize in every company-hosted hackathon - Galileo, Morningstar, Enterpret
