Hi, I'm
I'm an ML infrastructure & training systems engineer at Meta. I build training optimizations for recommendation models — embedding pruning, offloading, and model freshness — using PyTorch, TorchRec, and FBGEMM.
Outside of work, I spend my time playing piano, hitting the slopes in winter, and exploring new countries while capturing it all through photography .
