Senior AI / ML Research Engineer
Specializing in LLMs / VLMs / VLAs, Reinforcement Learning, and Embodied / Physical AI

I’m a senior AI/ML research engineer with 15+ years of experience building intelligent agents and AI systems that understand and reason about the world. My work spans foundation models, reinforcement learning, and physics-based simulation, continuously expanding into VLMs, VLAs, and embodied multimodal AI.

Currently part of the core research and engineering team at LawZero, a non-profit AI lab in Montreal led by Yoshua Bengio, I focus on advancing truthful, transparent, and safe-by-design AI through next-generation foundational models, and reasoning architectures.

My passion is right at the intersection of AI, simulation, and decision-making. I focus on:

• 🧠 Foundation Models & Alignment: LLM / VLM / VLA fine-tuning and alignment (SFT, DPO, RLVR/RLHF/RLAIF) with a focus on interpretable, safe, and truthful reasoning.
• 🧭 Reinforcement Learning: Online/offline, adversarial, multi-agent, imitation learning, and human-in-the-loop optimization.
• 🛰️ Embodied AI & High-Fidelity Simulation: Isaac Lab, Genesis, and physics-based virtual environments for grounded RL and world modeling.

• Experimenting with large-scale, distributed RL finetuning, using verifiable rewards for code-focused LLMs
• Building knowledge and hands-on experience on RL applied to foundation models
• Exploring the landscape around Vision-Language-Action models: SOTA architectures, training playbooks and recipes, benchmarks, data pipelines, and tooling
• Standardizing approaches and pipelines for DeepRL-based optimal decision making and control in real-world applications
