Research Assistant
2023–2026
Buffalo, NY
Worked on high-precision computation, ML observability, and an academic reading application developed with the UB Library.
High-precision computing
- Implemented Float128 tensor and CPU-kernel support in a research implementation of PyTorch, including high-precision gradient computation through Autograd.
- Built Python–C++ integration to preserve 128-bit precision across language boundaries.
ML observability
- Developed tools to compare OpenTelemetry spans across ML pipelines and identify performance bottlenecks.
- Built a probabilistic trace sampler that reduced observability overhead by 75% while preserving statistical fidelity, supporting collection of more than 100,000 inference traces.
