About Me

Hieu Ho

I am an AI Researcher & Software Engineer with a strong interest in building scalable systems, generative AI, and making meaningful contributions to open-source projects.

I was an early core contributor to the development of Jan.ai, an open-source AI product that enables users to download and run LLMs locally with full control and privacy. Jan.ai now has 5.7M+ downloads and 43K stars on GitHub.

Beyond AI research, I'm also interested in blockchain and decentralized systems. I previously joined Gnosis Chain and Nethermind. I also served as Speaker @ETH Vietnam, Judge @BUIDL Vietnam Hackathon, and Mentor at Scaling Ethereum 2023, ETH Tokyo 2023, and ETH Taipei 2023.
