James Hill-Khurana
Eclectic. Curious about machine learning, tech history, HCI and biomimicry. I care about building a good future for humans and computers to work together.
I work on compute for AI at MatX. Previously, I worked on GPU infrastructure, language model tool use, and augmenting customer support with language models.
Before that, I briefly studied philosophy and cognitive science at the University of Waterloo and worked at a few startups.
