About Julius

AI Engineer, MIT Graduate, and Adventure Enthusiast building the future one algorithm at a time.

My Journey

Hello and welcome to my website! I'm Julius, a recent MIT graduate now working on a startup in Kendall Square, Cambridge. I'm passionate about building large-scale AI systems and exploring the intersection of technology and human potential.

Like many in our field, I love experimenting with AI projects and have a particular interest in developing systems that can operate at scale. My work spans from educational AI frameworks to cutting-edge research in quantum computing and transformer architectures.

When I'm not coding, you'll find me on the water sailing competitively in small boats, exploring mountain trails, or cycling through New England. I believe the best ideas come when you step away from the screen and embrace the physical world.

Current Focus

Startup Building

Working on innovative AI solutions in Kendall Square, focusing on scalable systems and real-world applications.

AI Research

Continuing research in machine learning, with recent publications in ICLR 2024 and ongoing work in model-on-model deception.

Open Source

Contributing to the AI community through frameworks like A2rchi, adopted by MIT, CERN, and other institutions.

Adventure

Exploring the outdoors through competitive sailing, hiking, and cycling. Always up for a new physical challenge!
