Background
- Research interests span pre-training and post-training LLMs with a focus on optimizing data quality, distribution, and curricula. Currently building synthetic data pipelines to scale inference compute, create diverse generations, and develop strategies to verify and filter them into high-quality training data. Aims to create reliable, consistent, and trustworthy AI systems through rigorous evaluation of model behavior and how it is shaped by training data properties.
Miscellany
- Volunteered for SF New Deal, helping research and draft their economic impact report; enjoys social dancing, mostly West Coast Swing.
