About

Hello, I'm Saif Shawkat. I'm a software engineer with an interest in machine learning. I did my undergrad in physics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Along the way I interned at Amazon, where I learned a lot about various LLM inference optimizations. You can find some of my projects and writing on this site.

I also play chess competitively, with my current FIDE rating sitting at 2005. You can find my FIDE profile here along with some of my publicly available games.
