Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEdgar X is an engineering manager and former founding engineer with a decade of experience building ML-driven systems and blockchain infrastructure. He helped launch core backend features at Jito Labs after driving novel document embedding and real-time clustering work as a senior ML engineer at Primer.ai, where he also pushed NER performance forward. Edgar combines hands-on systems coding—contributing to Solana’s storage-bigtable module and improving data retrieval efficiency—with team leadership and product-minded engineering. Trained in machine learning and statistics at Carnegie Mellon, he blends rigorous academic grounding with startup grit and a taste for low-level performance optimization. Less obvious: he moves comfortably between shipping research-quality ML models and refactoring high-throughput distributed storage code.
