Kaelan Yim

Hey there!
I am a Cambridge MARS scholar conducting research evaluating agentic AI capabilities in R&D and was building bridges for researchers across interdisciplinary fields as a Kairos SPAR fellow.
I am interested in AI safety, autonomous robotics systems, beans, and long-term sustainability.
I currently train reinforcement learning models on high-performance computing networks at Sandia National Labs, and have previously held various roles at OpenAI, Oracle, and Accenture.
I am studying computer science (EECS) with a minor in gender & women's studies.
I enjoy gardening my collection of pineapples. My hobbies include spelunking, leatherworking, crochet, glassblowing, axe throwing, autocross racing, piano, shojin ryori, quantum physics, arthouse films, long-exposure photography, precision platformers, and penny press machines.
I was TIME Person of the Year 2006.

Feel free to reach out.
