Here to build systems that help people learn and decide faster.

I work at the intersection of applied AI and software engineering - turning fuzzy, open-ended problems into tools people actually rely on.

Tommy Tran

I'm an AI Engineer at INFORM, where I build LLM-powered, cloud-native products on top of an enterprise optimization platform - from early prototypes to systems used by in the industry. My background spans applied mathematics, software engineering, cloud infrastructure, and a master's in Artificial Intelligence.

Outside my day job, I'm drawn to how AI can support learning - two projects on conversational assessment and AI tutoring turned into peer-reviewed publications along the way.
