At Sentient, we are building state-of-the-art open-source AI. We bring together and incentivize developers to take down closed-source incumbents and make open-source AI win. Track my journey @oleg_golev on X. I am an alumnus of Princeton University where I received my B.S.E. and M. Eng. degrees in Computer Science as a first-generation student. My research background is very broad, with projects and papers in systems, AI, and HCI (advised by Professors Wyatt Lloyd, Amit Levy, Pramod Viswanath, and Parastoo Abtahi). My engineering background is in developing reliable, scalable, distributed SaaS solutions and low-latency data pipelines. When I'm not working, I love dancing, drumming, fighting, and learning new recipes. Feel free to reach out to me at ogolev@alumni.princeton.edu if it's about AI, crypto, mindfulness, or anything in-between. I also love avocado toast.
