Johan Gras is a Deep Learning Researcher based in London with 8 years of experience building and productionising large-scale AI systems, including training 10B+ parameter models on 500+ GPU farms using 3D parallelism and ZeRO-style optimizations. He has pioneered novel transformer architectures for quantitative finance at selective HFT firms and led efforts that cut model training time by two orders of magnitude. His background spans RL, synthetic-data fine-tuning, and inference optimization, with concrete contributions to TensorFlow and open-source MuZero/AlphaEvolve implementations. Comfortable bridging research and engineering, he’s delivered tooling for GPU farms and monthly technical talks, and brings an unusual blend of low-level systems work (TFLite/TensorFlow operator and model-optimisations) with frontier model research and a strong commitment to AI safety.
