Lin Ko is a founder and machine learning engineer with nine years of experience building AI-driven products and production systems. As Co-Founder of AI Leap and former AI Engineer at Pints AI, Lin led early RAG initiatives and pretraining efforts that produced a 1.5B-parameter model trained on 57B tokens with performance approaching larger baselines, and open-sourced the underlying dataset. Previously a senior software engineer in digital healthcare, Lin improved VOIP consultation success by 47% and led the server-side team to deliver EMR and scheduling systems. Trained in data science at the University of Colorado Boulder, Lin blends hands-on model development, dataset curation, and full-stack engineering to move research into reliable product features. Based in the United States, Lin is deeply passionate about reinforcement learning and about harnessing intelligence to create near‑perfect systems that scale. An uncommon strength is pairing rigorous pretraining experiments with pragmatic production deployments to meet client needs.
