Aqil Azhar

I am a machine learning engineer working across applied ML, infrastructure, and optimisation. More broadly, my interests span ML research, distributed training, inference, and the performance engineering that holds all three together.

I read Computer Science at the University of Birmingham. Along the way I worked at Amazon Web Services, Pandai (YC W21), Etiqa Insurance, and The Vox Asia, on work spanning ML infrastructure, retrieval, speech and vision pipelines, and backend systems.

I am based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Outside of work you will usually find me on white monster with some jazz beats.
