About

ML Research Engineer.

Zaid Yusuf

I work across machine learning research and engineering, with a focus on scientific ML, protein AI, biological foundation models, and generative modeling.

My work also includes AI engineering and ML systems, particularly LLM inference, model serving, agentic systems, distributed infrastructure, and Kubernetes.

I am interested in the connection between mathematical foundations, model architecture, and systems engineering, from geometric representations and diffusion models to efficient inference and the infrastructure around modern ML systems.

My projects span protein modeling, biological foundation models, AI agents, databases, and systems software.
