Brimfield, MA, US

Worked with various AWS customers as a member of AWS' Professional Services organization. Focused largely on projects in generative AI, including operationalizing large language models (LLMs) and multimodal models. Also worked various projects in the computer vision (CV) domain. Example projects:- Built a LLM-powered chatbot system with retrieval-augmented.

I am responsible for programming software for motor and cognition tasks for "psychology of sleep" studies, as well as performing data processing and analysis on the data that result. I take care of hardware and software issues that cannot be solved by the core staff, including software upgrades, network troubleshooting, and general computer maintenance. I.

I've been tasked with studying memcomputing machines, Turing B-Type machines, reservoir computation, Hebbian learning, atomic switch networks, and how they relate to each other. The goal of my participation in the lab is to develop an overarching thesis on computation which is continuous in time and / or space, and involves some source of randomness.
