PROFILE

Zachary Fogg

Zach Fogg contributed to Metta-AI’s metta and mettagrid repositories by building interactive Jupyter widgets, distributed training features, and performance optimizations for leaderboard evaluations. He implemented remote evaluation and multi-node training directly from notebooks, using Python, TypeScript, and Docker to streamline experimentation and deployment. Zach automated non-interactive installation flows for CI and Docker environments, improved build reliability, and restored critical AWS SSO configuration to support team workflows. His work on replay recording in mettagrid, written in C++ and Python, reduced evaluation latency by skipping static objects, demonstrating a focus on efficiency, automation, and robust backend integration across cloud and local environments.
