Hi, I'm Javon. I'm a Research Engineer based in the Washington DC Area. I received my Bachelor's from Loyola University Maryland in 2020, where I studied Computer Science and minored in Biomedical Physics. I graduated with a Master's degree in Applied Artificial Intelligence from the University of San Diego in 2024. Currently, I work as a Research Engineer III at BlueHalo, where I manage the company's AI/ML cluster and streamline GPU resource allocation for ML training. I specialize in training and fine-tuning high-performance machine learning models, building multi-node ML training pipelines, and automating infrastructure with Terraform.
Outside of work, I enjoy making websites and applications to gather, analyze, and act on stock market data. I also enjoy growing vegetables and mushrooms, and I'm a huge fan of the band Snarky Puppy.
