About

I'm a Senior Research Engineer with 8+ years in data science and over 5 years focused on language modeling. I specialize in building and training Large Language Models (LLMs), with a deep interest in training stability, optimization, and scaling. Most recently, I co-led the pretraining of a 7B-parameter LLM on 15 trillion tokens. At BluOrion, I also developed ZClip—an adaptive gradient clipping algorithm that improves convergence stability and eliminates the need for manual batch skipping. Additionally, I’ve worked on initialization strategies and activation variance control techniques to stabilize and accelerate LLM training. My experience spans training models at various scales, distributed training frameworks (FSDP, DeepSpeed, PyTorch Lightning), and open-source contributions including miniLLaMA, GPT2-TensorFlow, and miniGPTF. I'm passionate about solving real-world challenges in large-scale model training and pushing the boundaries of efficient LLM development
