• Build and maintain distributed training infrastructure supporting researchers across language and speech domains at a billion-plus-parameter scale.
• Optimize training and inference performance across the stack, delivering significant speedups through framework optimization, custom kernels, and system-level improvements.
• Design experiment infrastructure including automated evaluation pipelines, experiment tracking, and monitoring systems that enable rapid iteration.
• Scale infrastructure from single-node to multi-node distributed training and deploy production inference systems for real-time applications.
