Hi — I'm Jerome, an independent ML researcher at Algoverse. Previously, I was a graduate student at Université de Montréal and Mila. My current research interests are improving and interpreting reasoning in foundational models and SLMs, with broad interest in fundamental reinforcement learning and representation learning.

I've built ML pipelines for drone flight efficiency at Shearwater Aerospace, improved credit loss forecasting models for regulatory risk pipelines for clients (Citibank NA, PNC Financial Serivices) at TCS, and built computer vision models for fault segmentation and on-device deployment at Ignitarium. My undergraduate was at TKM College of Engineering in CS, focused on MRI medical imaging with deep learning.

I like to sprint on hills, solve chess puzzles, listen to film scores (expansion, philharmonic, love and work) and learn about different cultures and languages.
