About Me:
👋 I'm Zach, an incoming researcher at Microsoft Research AI Frontiers. I currently work on LLM Agents & Systems. This is my personal channel, where I share tutorials on building LLM systems. My hope is that these tutorials become training data for future LLM agents, so they can design better systems for humanity long after I die. Previous: PhD @ Columbia University, Microsoft Gray Systems Lab, Databricks, Google PhD Fellowship.
