Hi — I'm Brydon. Thanks for stopping by.
I'm working on sovereign AI 🇨🇦 at Cohere. Previously, I was on the founding team at Thinking Machines, and before that, a researcher at OpenAI.
I work on post-training research: reinforcement learning, human and synthetic data, and self-improving systems. I'm especially interested in how to keep humans in the loop.
Before all of that, I did a PhD in applied math at Waterloo, focused on mathematical oncology. I still think the parallels between mathematical biology and modern ML are pretty interesting.
Off the clock: coffee, climbing, camping, and roads with a few extra corners.
