I’m Chip Huyen, a writer and computer scientist. I grew up chasing grasshoppers in a small rice-farming village in Vietnam.

My focus is on ML/AI systems in production. I’m currently exploring creative use cases of AI in education and entertainment.

Previously, I worked on ML tooling at NVIDIA, Snorkel AI, and Netflix. I also founded Claypot AI, which was acquired.

Running a startup taught me that being a founder is incredibly hard, so I try to support founders in any way I can. Some startups I’ve worked with included Convai, OctoAI, and Photoroom.

I graduated from Stanford University, where I taught ML Systems Design. The lectures became the foundation for the book Designing Machine Learning Systems, which is an Amazon #1 bestseller in AI (very proud)!

My new book AI Engineering will come out in late 2024.

I’m active on GitHub and aspire to become a Goodreads influencer. You can also find me on Google Scholar. I frequently speak at and occasionally host events.

I enjoy learning about fun technical challenges and collaborating with great teams. Reach out if you want to find a way to work together!
