Hello, I'm

Kevin Zhang

Research ML Scientist  ·  Software Engineer  ·  PhD Statistics

I am a Research Machine Learning Scientist at Layer 6 AI (TD Bank Group), focusing on the interplay between theoretical and applied large language model (LLM) research — turning ideas in generative modeling, anomaly detection, and stochastic differential equations into production systems for financial applications.

Previously, I was a backend software engineer at Robinhood, where I designed and deployed scalable services for core financial products using Python/Django, Go, PostgreSQL, Kafka, Redis, and Kubernetes. I hold a PhD in Statistics from the University of Toronto, where my research centered on generative modeling and anomaly detection via optimal transport, stochastic differential equations, and game-theoretic methods.
