Alex Paino is a Member of Technical Staff at OpenAI with 13 years of engineering experience focused on machine learning and data infrastructure, currently managing the Pretraining Data team after earlier work in robotics. He previously led ML product teams at Sift and has a strong hands-on background in deep learning—evidenced by contributions to a deep-text-corrector project that blends neural models with n-gram decoding to improve message-style text correction. Alex pairs production ML leadership with low-level engineering experience from internships at Facebook and Microsoft and dual BS degrees in Computer Engineering and Math from the University of Missouri. Known for iterating model architectures and training pipelines, he balances research curiosity with shipping robust systems at scale.
