What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build efficient production ML systems, especially on-device models where quantization, inference performance, power, and latency matter.

At Meta, I lead the end-to-end ML lifecycle from EMG research through production inference for the MetaNeuralBand device. I've built training recipes, standardized evaluation suites, and hardware-emulator-in-the-loop benchmarking pipelines.

I develop on-device quantization, sparsity, compression, and power optimization for EMG and handwriting models, including sub-8-bit sparse models under strict power and latency budgets. I've also contributed mixed-precision inference optimizations for Attention and RNN modules to PyTorch and ExecuTorch, and collaborated with ARM on accelerator delegation.

Previously at Amazon Alexa, I led a proactive ML-driven latent goal-solving service scaling to 200+ TPS and launched contextual understanding for multi-turn NLU interactions. My research includes NLP event extraction, kernel learning, matrix computation, and numerical methods.
