Machine learning,
shipped end to end.

I work on machine learning for electronic design automation at Qualcomm, and I'm completing a double-degree master's in high performance computing engineering between Politecnico di Milano and KTH. I previously built full-stack systems at PwC and Accenture, and founded Bookaround and RealityFoundation.

Notes on machine learning and systems that ship.

I write short pieces on machine learning, the systems I build around it, and a few projects and trips worth remembering. Most of it comes from my work at Qualcomm, PwC, and Accenture, and personal projects like Bookaround and RealityFoundation.

Qualcomm
