Ivan Leo
I'm currently a Research Engineer at 567 labs where I help prototype and experiment with application tooling involving LLMs. I primarily work with Python, though I have experience in JavaScript and Java. I maintain the instructor package for Python and spend my free time delving into AI research and experimenting with various tooling infrastructures.
Outside of tech, I enjoy running, weightlifting, and outdoor adventures. I often write about my experiences in ML and software engineering.
