hey there! I’m Michael

I’m based in the San Francisco Bay AreaA tiny animated sketch of the Golden Gate Bridge

I work on our coding models at OpenAI — previously, I also worked on our computer-using agent models and on the search research team

Before that, I studied computer science at StanfordA tiny watercolor of Palm Drive looking toward Stanford’s Main Quad

Outside of work, I love a good espresso and — if you have any recs
