Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAram Ebtekar is an algorithmist and AI scientist with 11 years of experience blending mathematical rigor, theoretical insight, and hands-on engineering to tackle hard interdisciplinary problems. He has driven applied ML and hardware-aware research at companies like Mythic and Waymo, contributed open-source Rust implementations of core algorithms, and applied planning and inference techniques to autonomous systems and compressed-video object detection. More recently he published theoretical work on the causal arrow of time and algorithmic thermodynamics while contracting on autonomy for Caterpillar and developing alignment techniques at Anthropic and Berkeley collaborations. Comfortable moving between proofs and production code, he brings a rare mix of algorithmic information theory, practical systems experience, and philosophical curiosity. On sabbatical since 2019, he selectively advises and explores independent research—prefer conversations that teach him something new or present crisp, hard problems to solve.
