Elliot Soltani

πŸ€” About me

Hey there! It’s Elliot (MohammadHossein). I’m an AI researcher and engineer with a background in computer vision, representation learning, and ML systems. I’m especially interested in LLMs, agentic AI, RAG, inference/deployment, and production-ready AI software.

πŸ“’ I’m open to contract/project work and AI engineering roles in my areas of interest where research taste and practical implementation both matter.

My work is fundamentally driven by a deep curiosity about the nature of the universe. For me, the ethereal realm of science is a fascinating, never-ending source of discovery. I channel this passion into Artificial Intelligence, the pursuit of building intelligence.

As a researcher, my goal is to delve deep into my fields of interests to develop and conceptualize novel and impactful ideas. As an engineer, I tackle simple to complex problems with grit, applying knowledge from different disciplines and my honed problem-solving skills.
