About

I have spent a lot of time on pre-training and understanding small-to-mid-scale Transformers. Previously, I worked on distributed systems. My consensus protocols (Simplex, Streamlet) are the simplest and fastest in the literature, and taught at leading universities (in distributed systems courses, at e.g. Stanford, CMU, UIUC, etc) and deployed in industry (Commonware, Ava Labs, Solana Alpenglow).
