Been writing code for 25+ years. 10+ years professionally. Started freelancing a few years back. I've done a number of projects with the community so far, and really hoping to find new avenues currently. On the side I release a great deal of open source software at https://github.com/jcmccormick.

I've made web applications (front and back end concurrently) for the majority of my time developing. However, now I have turned my sights on to LLM use. I have now learned how to work with all kinds of backends (JAX, Transformers, PyTorch, etc.) while being able to effectively fine tune my own models (from other bases). Definitely not a math major, but I do understand the practical use and intentions of model layers, matrix multiplications, and other various inner processes of neural networks.

I am currently working on a project that produces AST parses of one of my projects (20k+ loc), turns them into embeddings, and trains a model to answer questions and help me continue to code that project. All I can say is that it does work on principle, and is just a matter of time before I'll have a generalized pipeline for such projects.

If any of this sounds valuable to you, I'm certainly looking forward to utilizing my knowledge, so please do reach out via linkedin messenger, or my email. Thanks for your time.

About me:

I'm a machine learning engineer who's also pursuing an AI apprenticeship (equivalent to masters in AI). I am a proficient systematic thinker who enjoys applying logical reasoning to find elegant and performant solutions to complex problems. I'm focused on natural language processing (NLP) primarily.

I have industry experience with recommendation systems, reinforcement learning, chatbot development, information extraction, knowledge graphs and generative AI, specifically large language models from my most recent role in a high growth startup.

I have a strong background in data science and machine learning. I am motivated by the challenge and opportunity of using AI strategicialy to solve real-world problems and enjoy learning from experienced engineers. My goal is to become a leader in the field of artificial intelligence so I can amplify my positive impact on society.

On a more general front, I'm intrigued by robotics, the mind and consciousness and fascinated by neuroscience and philosophy. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, meditating, travelling and reading. My favourite book is The Untethered Soul by Michael Alan Singer.

Let's speak :)

How do you know all the tasks they were given? I know people with similar background who worked in an office. Lying would be saying you went to a school somewhere you didn’t or didn’t work as long as you said so. I think you are making a lot of assumptions from a personal bias.

I too know people with similar background who worked on app development on said "missions". However,

(1) The vast majority of missionaries for @ashton314's church spend the vast majority of their time proselyting.

(2) The inclusion of "training to other volunteers" and exclusion of more unique experiences implies @ashton314 falls in this majority.

I agree that I assumed this applied to @ashton314, but it's not like that was a large leap of faith.

You just called him a liar based on that “leap”.

I still fail to see the issue if it’s a minority of activity. Does your resume description perfectly correlate to percentage of time spent?
