I’m a software engineer with over 5 years of experience, specializing in backend development, system architecture, and performance optimization. I have extensive experience with scalable systems, fault-tolerant architectures, and cloud infrastructure, particularly with AWS, DigitalOcean, and bare metal. Additionally, I actively contribute to and maintain open-source projects. I am currently open to both remote and onsite roles in Europe or Africa, with a keen interest in cloud-native technologies and projects that make a meaningful impact.

Hi, I'm Andrew Trettel. I'm a scientist with a PhD in mechanical engineering looking for any potential opportunities outside of academia and research labs. I have over a decade of experience in scientific research, especially on the numerical side. I have years of experience in writing software for and running large simulations on high-performance computing (HPC) systems. I have also developed software for non-scientific purposes, like creating user interfaces for desktop applications. I have years of experience working with large datasets, including the tasks of calculating statistics and developing hypotheses/models/theories from data. I've worn many hats over the years and love learning new and interesting topics.

Hi, I'm an embedded systems engineer/architect bridging the full compute spectrum of ultra-low power IoT, edge systems, and HPC.

My latest projects have been in full-stack edge ML R&D, memory controller firmware dev for POWER servers, and chip bringup/testing for Z mainframes.

I'm passionate about modular synthesis and tinkering with all sorts of analog circuits and DSP. Currently upskilling in analog PCB design and refining my abilities in FPGA development. Also WIP on a 3D-printed robot arm to practice control systems and actuation.

Python, PyTorch, Hugging Face Transformers, Deep Learning, Vision Transformers, Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs), Efficient Fine-Tuning

Résumé/CV – Master’s Research Project (2025)

- Developed a parameter-efficient adaptation strategy for frozen MLLMs by learning pixel-space visual prompts that steer the model without modifying its weights.

- Designed and executed experiments on multiple public vision datasets using PyTorch, Hugging Face Transformers, and custom vision-language integration pipelines.

- Achieved performance competitive with full fine-tuning while updating less than 0.001% of total model parameters (e.g., 52K vs. 7B), demonstrating strong generalization and efficiency.

- Paper and code available soon.
