Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJacek Golebiowski is a machine learning scientist and entrepreneur with 11 years of experience building practical, research-driven ML systems and co-founding Distil Labs to make training small language models as easy as prompting. He led teams at Amazon/AWS developing LLM-based assistants, tool-using systems, model-and-human-in-loop evaluation, and sample-efficient hyperparameter optimization (core developer of the SyneTune HPO library). His work spans production search features—fairness-aware ranking and diversification—to compact specialized models that match larger LLM accuracy for specific safety and OOS tasks. Trained as a computational materials scientist (Imperial College PhD researcher), he blends physics-grade numerical methods with modern ML, bringing unusually strong HPC and algorithmic rigor to applied NLP. Based in Berlin, he combines startup grit with deep research chops and a track record of shipping science-backed solutions at scale.
