San Jose, California, United States
Summary
👤
SeniorThang Pham is a Senior Machine Learning Engineer with a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Auburn University and a decade of hands-on experience spanning research, engineering, and product development. His peer-reviewed work on language and multimodal models has appeared in ACL/NAACL/EACL and attracted coverage from MIT Technology Review and VentureBeat, reflecting both academic rigor and real-world relevance. He has deep expertise in efficient small language models, retrieval-augmented generation, and multi-agent systems, informed by research internships at Adobe Research and a research-engineer role focused on biomedical NLP at AIST. Before returning to ML research, he spent several years leading Android teams and building production mobile apps, which gives him a practical bias toward deployable, optimized systems. Now based in San Jose and currently at Adobe, he blends state-of-the-art modeling with production engineering skills to push compact, efficient ML into real products. A not-obvious strength is his cross-domain fluency—from biomedical corpora and GPU optimization to mobile architecture and API design—making him effective at translating research advances into scalable systems.
