dfdx labs is the consulting practice of Matthias Plappert.
I work as a Technical Advisor on AI/ML, helping teams make better high-stakes technical decisions. Typical engagements include deciding whether and how to apply AI to a product, designing or reviewing model and data architectures, and stress-testing plans before you commit.
Previously, I spent 10 years in ML research including 5 years at OpenAI, where I led teams working on robotics, reinforcement learning, large language models, and code generation. My research has been widely cited.
I take on a small number of clients at a time. If you're facing a hard problem where an outside perspective would help, get in touch.
