I work on developing efficient AI models for resource-constrained environments. I'm currently spending most of my time on moondream, a compact open-source vision language model, aiming to make advanced computer vision accessible to all. Research areas I'm interested in include hardware-optimized model architecture, curriculum learning, decentralized training, and sparse inference.
Before moondream, I worked on distributed systems at AWS for nine years. And before that, I built the world's best anime recommendation engine at Hummingbirdnow known as Kitsu.
