AI Researcher @ Amazon AGI SF Lab

I build human-like AI agents, because the only thing more fun than being human is trying to recreate parts of it in silicon. I got my PhD at New York University, where I studied planning and reinforcement learning: how minds and machines decide what to do next when the world is messy, uncertain, and adversarial. These days I focus on LLM post-training, multimodal reasoning, and computer-use agents -- the kind of systems that don't just talk, but act.

About

When I'm not teaching models what to do, I'm usually snowboarding, hiking, baking desserts, or being supervised by cats who believe they are my bosses.

I moved from NYC to SF to join the RL research team at AGI SF Lab.
