We explore his experience at companies like Uber and Google, where he worked on everything from distributed systems to ML and storage infrastructure.
We learn about the evolution of his latest venture, which started as a C++ compiler optimization project and transformed into a system for optimizing Snowflake workloads using ML.
Ben shares insights about applying LLMs to SQL optimization, the challenges of verified code transformation, and the importance of formal verification in ML systems. Finally, we discuss his practical approach to choosing ML models and the critical lesson he learned about talking to users before building products.
