Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolErfan Miahi is a Machine Learning Research Engineer with 9+ years in AI, blending academic rigor—7 publications with 150+ citations and graduate work in the RLAI Lab under advisors tied to Richard Sutton—with ~5 years building production-grade ML/SaaS systems. He has led end-to-end RL and LLM projects from research prototypes to deployed pipelines, driving measurable impact such as multi-asset trading profit improvements and control optimizations in water treatment systems. As a founder and early-stage engineer, he co-created continual post-training and memory-augmented LLM systems, achieving faster inference and stepped gains in code generation and reasoning accuracy. Currently he’s focused on advancing LLM/VLM reasoning via reinforcement learning and is building decentralized, incentivized infrastructure for post-training models. Notably, his work spans both deep theoretical exploration (10k+ CPU experiments weekly in grad research) and hands-on systems engineering—automating complex ML stacks on ECS and optimizing training to cut costs and turnaround.
