I'm Tony

AI Engineer & Researcher

Founding AI Engineer with expertise in Multi-Modal Generative AI and Computer Vision. At A16z Speedrun, I architected a natural-language-to-game generation platform, delivering 60% of core engineering output for a 20-person startup and achieving 200x performance optimization. Previously led Google University Research for Pixel Computer Vision, improving UI defect detection from 43% to 98% precision-recall. I founded Code&Coffee Philadelphia, scaling it to 3,200+ members as the city's largest builder-focused tech community. My research on video understanding and student engagement detection has been published at CAIP 2025 and IEEE.
