Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJason Benn is a Founding Engineer and machine learning practitioner with 12 years of software experience and a track record of shipping practical ML systems from research to revenue. Based in San Francisco, he’s blended startup building (sole founding MLE at Sourceress that helped reach $2M ARR) with safety-focused research, coauthoring CVE-Bench and winning ICML spotlight and CAIS SafeBench prizes. He’s repeatedly built production-grade pipelines and automation—designing active learning to produce ~400 high-quality datasets, an “internal Kaggle” model competition system, and large-scale scraping and deployment workflows. More recently he contributed to model-diffing and post-training generalization research at Goodfire and now helps steer a collective-intelligence company as a founding engineer. Jason documents his learning in public and brings a rare mix of founder grit, ML research chops, and systems-level reliability engineering.
