Hey there I’m Muhtasham! I hope your world’s going well. I’ll bet you’re cool.

I spent my pre-training days in Urmetan village and went to high school in Dushanbe, Tajikistan.During high school I used to hack around computers and attend many olympiads.

Currently I speak 5 natural languages (Tajik, Turkish, Russian, English and German), and reasonably well versed in few programming languages.

Currently work and live in Germany, and I have lived before in Turkey and South Korea. After few visits to US, I am considering moving there and settling (hit me up if you can help me with that).

My current areas of interest:

  • Specialized hardware for machine learning
  • Efficient model training, inference, and serving
  • Distributed and parallel learning algorithms
  • ML compilers and runtime
  • Hardware-efficient ML methods
  • Systems for Machine Learning
  • Machine Learning for Systems

While it’s not easy thing I am trying concentrating intensely on the right problems, and remaining open to fresh perspectives. In addition to my hands-on work with ML technologies, I’m passionate about sharing knowledge and insights through writing and speaking engagements on topics related to ML systems, engineering, and personal reflections. That being said, I love tackling challenging technical problems and welcome opportunities for collaboration.

I’m passionate about mobile photography. You might have noticed this from the thumbnails of my blog entries.

This thought intrigues me: while visual thumbnails offer an instantaneous snapshot of an image, what serves as the equivalent for language? Our eyes can swiftly scan a set of thumbnails and capture an underlying theme from them. But when it comes to language, what provides that immediate insight? Perhaps such a concept doesn’t quite fit in the realm of words.

I have had the opportunity to share my insights and knowledge of others through several public talks. These talks encompass various topics including GenAI, LLM deployments, Autonomous Agents, and classical NLP. Feel free to delve into the resources linked below to explore the depth of these topics:
