Jae Y is a machine learning software engineer with seven years of experience building ML systems at Google, Alphabet’s quantum sandbox, and X, the moonshot factory, now focused on CoreML and TensorFlow Lite for mobile, IoT, and quantum deep learning. He blends production-focused engineering—shipping TFLite-convertible speech synthesis and Android examples—with research-caliber contributions to MLIR, BFLOAT16 support, and INT4 dequantization in TensorFlow. His work spans classical and quantum tooling, including performance-minded enhancements to quantum simulators and test automation for TensorFlow Quantum. Comfortable anywhere from low-level compiler integration to on-device model optimizations, he has a track record of adapting complex models for constrained environments. A KAIST-trained electrical engineer, he also translates and documents quantum computing materials, reflecting a knack for making advanced concepts practical and portable. Based in Sunnyvale, he combines Google-scale product experience with moonshot-style experimentation to push ML toward mobile and quantum frontiers.
