Timothy Ngotiaoco
Senior ML Research Engineer
About
Timothy Ngotiaoco has expertise in mathematics and software engineering, and undertook his graduate work in pure math research in representation theory at MIT. Prior to joining the Kempner Institute, he worked at two startups, where he designed the infrastructure for managing data pipelines and serving ML models so that they could be used in production environments that served tens of thousands of users and could scale to many more. He also has experience building monitoring systems for benchmarking and tracking performance issues, so that developers can more easily identify bottlenecks in their code. With his skillset, Tim aims to optimize model performance and build better platforms for ML development.
Research Focus
As part of the Kempner’s Research and Engineering team, Tim will be using his math and software engineering background to optimize the training and inference performance of ML models. His work will involve understanding and improving the performance of models as they are scaled across multiple GPUs. He will also develop tooling and MLOps practices for managing ML workflows, with the goal of improving the productivity of researchers at the Kempner Institute.
