Hi there! I'm David (He/Him)

I'm passionate about making quality tools that empower AI practitioners and generative artists.

I'm currently working as an ML engineer at CoreWeave, and am also affiliated with eleuther.ai. Previously, I helped launch Stability AI in the role of Distinguished Engineer, and worked in more conventional Data Scientist roles at Microsoft, Amazon, Fannie Mae, USDOL-OIG, Elder Research, and SoundExchange. A common theme in my work for the last few years has been building tools which making bleeding edge AI research accessible to non-technical creatives.

Some projects I'm currently or recently involved with:

• Developing tools to facilitate parameterizing complex, multi-scene animation sequences
• Invented a technique for generating a multi-scene music video from audio
• inventing and building cutting edge, state of the art, AI animation tools and techniques
• working with electronic musicians and VJs to advance audio-reactive animation research
• maintaining and extending pytti-tools
• building a library to facilitate working with pre-trained CLIP-like models
• building a library to facilitate working with and management of messy research code
• working with researchers to build data collection tools that will be used to turn hackathon activities into training data for code generative language modeling
• Implementing notebooks to facilitate AI artist use of pre-trained research models, including FiLM and blended defusion
• model design for a forthcoming AI art model
• Shepherding the launch of the Stable Diffusion API and accompanying infra and tooling (public SDK, CI/CD, etc.) as engineering lead through the launch of the DreamStudio product
