Jarred Barber.

Staff Research Engineer at Google DeepMind working on latent reasoning and pretraining for the Gemini models. I build generative models, custom attention kernels, and agent harnesses for math and code reasoning — and I've shipped research the whole way to production, including Google's first generative image product.
