As a teenager, I played CTFs and was into reverse engineering (I still am, just doing it less). I've been working with production systems for over half a decade and close to the EVM for the past two and a half years, with a strong interest in machine learning on the side (implementing papers and doing experiments). Currently training my own transformer on multiple GPUs for custom embeddings.

I've written mostly Go over these years, plus Rust for the past year and Python obviously for the ML. Experienced with the production infrastructure you'd expect: Postgres, Redis, Kubernetes, etc.

Remote: Yes, open to remote, hybrid or in office.

Willing to relocate: Yes.

Technologies: JavaScript/TypeScript, React, HTML, CSS/SASS, MYSQL, Firebase, Azure, C, Python, Node, Express, Storybook/Chromatic, Pub/Sub, NoSQL, Material UI, Next, Tailwind.
