Ara Esfarjani
I'm 21, based in Palo Alto, California.
Most recently, I'm joining Axiom Math as a research engineer. Before that I worked at Coinbase on ledgers and money-movement microservices, and at other tech companies like Celestial AI, acquired by Marvell for $3.25 billion.
I'm a machine learning researcher. At SAIL, I optimize transistor sizing in analog components to produce state-of-the-art chips. I'm also interested in KV cache and decoding optimization.
I'm also a musician. I've competed internationally in viola, and recently picked up acoustic, classical, and electric guitar.
