Current Work
At Vmax, I designed and built the core system end-to-end for training software-engineering agents: RL infrastructure that orchestrates hundreds of GPUs, a self-improving task generator, and a rollout framework that runs thousands of concurrent sandboxes; I am actively contributing upstream across slime, Miles, and Harbor.
Earlier: Meta MRS (Meta Recommendation System), autopilot systems, cryptography/blockchain protocols, and quantitative research.
