Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Bloomin is a founder and chief architect with 13+ years building high-performance systems, currently leading SoftMax and researching multi-agent reinforcement learning at MettaAi. He blends deep AI expertise (MS in CS with an AI focus from Stanford) with hands-on systems engineering across Python, C++, Scala and Java to design scalable backends, storage and web services. His career spans senior roles at Google, Facebook and Asana and a decade as CTO/board member at GRIP, reflecting rare experience taking research into production at scale. He specializes in RL and MARL with PyTorch, yet remains a full-stack implementer comfortable from databases to front-end work. Based in San Francisco, he prefers no unsolicited recruiting approaches and is quietly focused on advancing socially complex multi-agent environments and production-grade ML infrastructure.
