I’m a Senior Machine Learning Engineer at Yaak, where I lead all robotics work, from hardware and data collection to training policies and deploying them on robots. Before that I was at Tesla, writing software for Gigafactory expansion, and I started my career at Google at 18 in London, working on Chrome, Android and the web platform.
Born in England to Persian parents, grew up in London, now living in Berlin.
I write about robot learning, ML and engineering, and sometimes life.
Say hi. I love meeting new people.
