// hello, world Sebastjan Cizel Director, London AI Video Lab at InterDigital

I'm an ML engineer and Director of the London AI Video Lab at InterDigital. My focus is on the fundamentals of ML model infrastructure: performance optimization, compilation, and getting models to run efficiently on real hardware. Before moving into engineering, I earned my DPhil in Mathematics at Oxford, studying the geometry underlying string theory. More recently, I've become fascinated by AI-native development workflows and spend my spare time building with the latest agent tooling.
