Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAgrin Hilmkil is a research engineer with 12 years of experience building and deploying ML systems, currently teaching Gemini to become a better agent at Google DeepMind. He has driven inference, product and infrastructure work for Latent Labs’ Latent-X and written high-performance CUDA kernels for quantized transformers at Microsoft, blending research depth with production-focused engineering. His background spans speech and generative models—leading a team that shipped a best-in-class Swedish TTS stack and an entirely synthesized audiobook—plus applied physiological RNN research from academia. Based in London, he combines strong mathematics and engineering training from Chalmers with a knack for turning experimental models into reliable inference pipelines. Notably, his work ethos—playfully summarized as “overfitting on test sets since 2012”—reflects a hands-on, iterative approach to squeezing performance from models in real-world settings.
