Talks

I’m grateful for every opportunity to share my work. I can talk about:

  • real-time machine learning: online prediction, real-time model analytics, continual learning
  • streaming-first infrastructure for ML
  • machine learning systems design
  • machine learning in production at scale
  • machine learning interviews and recruiting pipeline
  • community building and developer relations
  • deep learning fundamentals, applications, and trends

My bios and photos can be found here. Below is the selected list of my talks (not updated).

On sharing events on social media
I avoid posting promotional content (e.g. come hear me talk). I feel very awkward when an organizer asks me to do so. Please don’t expect me to promote your event if I agree to speak. Thank you!

Research

I occasionally write papers and/or support my coworkers with their papers. My research focuses on the intersection between Natural Language Processing and Deep Learning.
