Software Engineer, Machine Learning Engineer, Cautious AI Optimist

I build large-scale distributed systems. That path took me from data engineering to machine learning to software engineering, and now into AI and HPC. Throw a dart at the AI stack and I've probably built something there.

Projects

SlurmGPT

TUI-based AI chatbot for managing and monitoring SLURM workloads. The goal is to recieve intelligent feedback on workload efficiency.

Homelab

The product of my obsession with self-hosting and salvaging old hardware. Personal git server, AI inference server, media server, and dev environment for software and AI development.

Sustainabrand

Project we made for AlphaHacks to find all sustainable brand alternatives to big brand names with unethical or unsustainable business practices.

Flower Classifier

A simple classifier made with Pytorch to classify flowers using the model that the user inputs through the command prompt. Developed for the Udacity Machine Learning Nanodegree to grasp the fundamentals of data processing and neural networks.
