I'm an ML engineer/research engineer looking for work in that vein. I can train models, I can design architectures, I can implement papers, I can gather real and synthetic data, and I can in general solve the problems that come up when trying to build ML systems. Background: I recently ended a 3 month contract at Redwood Research doing AI safety research where I spent about half my time improving our synthetic data pipelines and about half finetuning LLMs to exhibit unsafe behavior in deployment but not training, and to do so while defeating probes trained to detect the unsafe behavior (but only in deployment). I also have an ongoing solo research project working on text-to-image models trained without any text, relying on embeddings for conditioning. [1] is a (very out of date) blog post about that. There'll be a paper soon inshallah. Before the ML stuff I worked at a startup where we built a new cryptocurrency, and before that another startup.
Remote: Sure, but my preference is in-office.
Willing to relocate: No
Technologies: JAX, PyTorch, Machine learning in general, Python, Rust
