AI Researcher @ Amazon AGI SF Lab

I build AI agents that act like humans do, because the only thing more fun than being human is trying to recreate parts of it in silicon. I earned my PhD at NYU, 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 work on LLM post-training, reasoning, and agents — 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.
