Griffin Miller

I’m an AI engineer based in New York. I work on AI/ML and product at Cosmos. I also work with companies on applied AI strategy, product development, ML architecture, and custom tooling.

I studied computer science and classical music at Stanford. I’m a classical orchestral timpanist, percussionist, and conductor. My favorite instrument to play is marimba.

I'm constantly figuring out how to incorporate music into my life. I recently picked up the flute and guitar and lugged a butter yellow spinet piano into my apartment. I’ve also been messing around with music production across genres. I also have an electronic marimba here in the city that I’d love to use more.

I’m also an adjunct professor at Fordham University and Hunter College, where I teach computer science.

Camp Starlight

My family owns a sleepaway camp, Camp Starlight, in Starlight, PA, about 2½ hours outside NYC. I use it to throw a fun event on Labor Day weekend with 100 of my friends.

It’s also a great spot for corporate retreats, concerts, weddings, and music festivals. I’m pretty good at organizing events, so if you have something in mind, let’s chat. Always down for a side quest.
