BROOKE JOSEPH
📍 Currently: In Sweden (say hi)
I work for my 10 and 80 year old self. I believe true happiness comes from giving more to the world more than you take and solving the problems that matter to you.
RIGHT NOW I'M
- Training models on embedded systems at Ekkono (knowledge distillation and quantization)
- Solo travelling Europe.
- Building products for fast growing companies.
- Dismantling misaligned incentive structures.
IN PAST LIVES I EXPLORED
TEAMS IVE WORKED WITH
Ekkono
Making models smaller, doing work in model quantization and knowledge distillation.
Sweden
Stealth
Worked with founders who previously scaled to billon $ companies. Built 5 apps end-to-end with 100k users. (did growth, building, product design, etc.)
Toronto
Devron
Collaborated with senior engineers to incorporate Differential Privacy into their platform, navigating complex infrastructure.
New York
CEP
Helping fix a broken educational system in the US. Building tools for an amazing non-profit.
America
Dr Tong Lab
I made 3D models of proteins.
Canada
BUILDS
CPU from scratch
Built a CPU from fundamental components, designing and implementing all logic gates and systems.
Knowledge Distillation
Developped an algorithm to leverage knowledge distillation for improving the performance of bad models.
GenTube
Built first iteration in 1 week. The team has scaled it to 500k+ images generated since and millions of users.
Vector Database
Built a vector database from scratch for efficient similarity search and embedding retrieval.
DP Research
Presented Differential Privacy research to people across the globe (Washington DC, Germany, Toronto and Sweden). Over 80k people across all events.
Connect based on Images
Built a fun little tool to connect with people based on images in your camera.
Epsilon & Delta Tool
Built a tool to help engineers select privacy parameters. Used by fortune 500 companies.
Personalized e-card
Created a website that generates personalized hallmark cards. Worked on finetuning diffusion models and LLMs
Real FL
Created a real Federated learning environment with a Raspberry Pi to demonstrate privacy-preserving ML techniques.
Training on embedded devices
Cannot share repo but helped condense an MLP to train in very very small spaces. If you're a memory nerd you'd find this cool.
Burrow
Built a knowlegde graph that scrapped various sources. Got 700 sign ups.
