About
Most “AI” algorithms never leave the laptop. 🤖What excites me is building systems that work in the real world. I develop methods where robots learn new skills from just a handful of demonstrations, then refine them through multimodal intuitive interactions.My work bridges probabilistic machine learning, foundation models (LLMs/VLMs/VLAs), and computer vision. 🔬The result: systems that run on real hardware, in real time, robust enough to demo live at industry fairs for days straight🦾Looking for ML Engineer, Applied Scientist, or Research Scientist roles that ship.
