Alex Hamidi

I’m a software engineer studying Computer Science, running SDxUCSD (builder community), and training diffusion models for Data Assimilation at Scripps. Previously, I worked on search infrastructure at Clado and automations at Amazon.

I'm excited about:

  • Using generative video models to create compelling, multimodal art that resonates unlike anything else
  • Improving coding agents through RL and scaffolding in order to obviate tedious knowledge work
  • In general, building things that extend the manifold of human creativity and capability
