About Dale Markowitz

Writer, Coder, Maker, Napper.

Hi! My name is Dale and I’m an engineer and writer.

My writing has been published in Nautilus, The Atlantic, The Washington Post, New York Magazine, Gizmodo, and beyond. I’m currently writing (and seeking representation for) two novels, including one inspired by the occult origins of science.

For almost a decade, I worked in AI and NLP, most recently as the Generative AI advocacy and education lead at Google. There, I penned code, hosted the YouTube series Making With Machine Learning, and wrote about AI. I had the pleasure of teaching Lupe Fiasco how to use LLMs, hacking together an MVP of NotebookLM, and bringing the Gemini API into the world. Before that, I worked in Google Research on Natural Language Processing for Google News. And before that, I worked as a software engineer at the online dating site OkCupid, where we used math to find people love. I’ll always have a soft spot for that job, because it’s where I met my love. But also, it also scarred me for life.

Before OkCupid, I studied Computer Science at Princeton.
