I’m the Co-Founder and CEO of Stochastic, an AI company dedicated to private, efficient, and adaptive AI systems. Before founding Stochastic, I spent over a decade in academia, most recently as research faculty in computer science at Harvard University.
At Stochastic, we help companies build and deploy personalized AI by re-architecting the full stack. We co-design algorithms, models, systems, and hardware to deliver orders-of-magnitude improvements in speed and compute efficiency. Our long-term vision is a unified platform for autonomous agents that can reason, communicate, and adapt like humans —faster and with greater precision.
My research work centers on algorithm–system co-design for cloud and edge AI. I’m motivated by advancing the Pareto frontier of intelligence, speed, and efficiency —because in today’s landscape, siloed design leaves performance on the table. True breakthroughs come from cross-layer optimization, not from tuning one layer at a time.
