Cade Gordon is an MS student in Computer Science at UC Berkeley and a Member of Technical Staff at Anthropic with seven years of experience building and scaling machine learning systems. He combines academic research—multiple ML projects and literature reviews at BAIR and ML@Berkeley—with hands-on engineering internships at Cohere, BigHat Biosciences, and others to move models from prototype to production. Notably, he contributed distributed training and Horovod integration to the popular open_clip repository, improving training stability and zero-shot performance. Focused on deep learning, computer vision, and applied ML, he aims to deploy models that have tangible impact, while balancing rigorous research with practical engineering. Outside of work he plays soccer as a fullback/winger, a pursuit that reflects his team-oriented, endurance-driven approach to problem solving.
