Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJinglei Cheng is an engineer based in Palo Alto with seven years of experience focused on optimizing deployment and inference of large language models. Currently at Eigen AI, he brings a research-driven approach honed through postdoctoral and doctoral work at University of Pittsburgh, USC, and Purdue, bridging academic rigor with production-focused ML engineering. His background spans research scientist roles in stealth startups and deep technical training (PhD in EE from USC and PhD-level work in Computer Science at Purdue), enabling him to tackle model efficiency, systems integration, and inference latency challenges. Colleagues describe him as someone who translates complex model requirements into pragmatic deployment pipelines and measurable performance gains. Though his GitHub presence is concise, his trajectory suggests a preference for focused, high-impact contributions over broad public visibility. He combines a strong academic pedigree with hands-on experience shipping LLM inference improvements in startup environments.
