Matan Itah

I'm a passionate AI/ML engineer and data scientist with a degree in mathematics and computer science from UC San Diego. With expertise in both traditional machine learning and large language models, I specialize in developing and deploying scalable AI solutions that drive real-world impact. My background in mathematics enables me to approach complex problems with analytical rigor, while my experience in software engineering allows me to build robust, production-ready systems. I thrive when I'm applying interesting tech to real world problems, and in environments where I am given the freedom to innovate. In my free time, I practice mixed martial arts and yoga, and love cooking and playing guitar.

OPEN RESUME

Showcasing the AI/ML research, and software engineering work I do in my free time...

Emergant - Ant Colony Simulation

Emergant

a reinforcement learning project that I built to learn the fundamentals of deep learning using PyTorch and CUDA. It is an ant colony simulation which uses highly computationally efficient reinforcement learning to allow for ant-like behaviors to naturally emerge. Now an open source contribution to the state-of-the-art library PufferLib!

GraphGuru

GraphGuru

An open source library I still actively maintain and use for my own projects. It is a library for knowledge graph construction and manipulation.

Evolvium

Evolvium

An open source evolution simulator which demonstrates natural selection, population dynamics, and emergence in action.
