He is pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science at Northeastern, with study in computer science and mathematics and an AI concentration. Jake focuses on the systems work behind AI: machine-learning systems optimization, inference performance, LLM orchestration, retrieval and RAG, multi-agent systems, distributed systems, and data infrastructure. He has applied this approach across malware detection, document intelligence, contract auditing, LLM infrastructure, robotics simulation, and GPU research. Jake is strongest at identifying the constraint that governs a problem and building for it, including making quality tradeoffs to meet real-time requirements. He has optimized ML models to run at 30 FPS on consumer hardware, designed custom ML architectures from scratch, and built robotics simulators that combine world models with physics simulation. His long-term focus is physical AI and embodied intelligence, with a preference for hands-on engineering roles. ## Services - Fine Tuning - Data Analysis - System Architecture - Engineering - API Development - Project Management - Product Management - Java - React Native - Back-End Web Development - CUDA - Large Language Models \(LLM\) - Artificial Intelligence \(AI\) - JavaScript - Rust \(Programming Language\) - Machine Learning - Front-End Development - Microsoft Office - Microsoft Excel - Social Outreach - Desktop Application Development - Next.js - User Modeling - Cybersecurity - PyTorch - Malware Detection - Full-Stack Development - Tailwind CSS - Phishing - TypeScript ## Highlights - Optimized machine-learning models to run at 30 FPS on consumer hardware. - Designed custom machine-learning architectures from scratch. - Built custom world-model architectures for robotics applications. - Built robotics simulators that combine world models with physics simulation. - Applied ML-systems optimization and inference-performance expertise to real-time workloads. - Made quality tradeoffs to meet low-latency, real-time performance requirements. - Contributed GPU research experience from a research-lab environment. - Worked across malware detection, document intelligence, contract auditing, and LLM infrastructure. - Works as a Software Engineer at Fraxia. - Serves as a current Software Engineer at ACM at Northeastern University. - Serves as a current Data Analyst at IDEA, Northeastern University’s venture accelerator. - Completed a Software Engineer Fellowship at Headstarter. - Completed a Project Management Internship at Global Electric. - Pursues a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science at Northeastern University with an AI concentration and mathematics study. - Builds with LLM orchestration, multi-agent systems, retrieval and RAG, and inference cost control. - Works with Python, TypeScript, SQL, Rust, Java, Bash, PostgreSQL, pgvector, Deno, Node.js, Docker, Supabase, and distributed systems. - Uses CUDA and PyTorch for machine-learning work. - Has experience in cybersecurity, phishing, malware detection, user modeling, API development, system architecture, product management, and project management. - Works across full-stack, front-end, back-end, desktop, React, React Native, Next.js, Tailwind CSS, JavaScript, and C++ development. ## Experience - **Software Engineer at ACM at Northeastern University** (2026-08-01–present) - **Data Analyst at IDEA: Northeastern University's Venture Accelerator** (2026-08-01–present) - **Software Engineer at Fraxia** (2026-05-01–2026-08-01) - **Project Management Intern at Global Electric** (2025-07-01–2025-09-01) - **Software Engineer Fellow at Headstarter** (2024-09-01–2024-12-01) ## Education - Bachelor of Science, Computer Science — Northeastern University (2026-08-01–2029-05-01) ## FAQ ### What does Jake do?
