SEEKING WORK - Data scientist, remote worldwide, email in profile.

Happy new years! A colleague and I lost out on a large optimization project (network scheduling during cascading failures) with an airline and I'm now looking for work. My ideal is a small/medium company where I can do no BS data science - ML, AI, and OR are my jam.

I've worked on projects including large language models, knowledge extraction, and the usual ML stuff - failure prediction, translation, maintenance optimization, automated sports highlights, and more. I've also done some more interesting work including vehicle route planning in constrained environments.

I love avant garde problems, and have a pretty unique toolset (LLMs+KB, OR+ML, etc). I've worked with names you know in tech, automotive, and other spaces.

The perfect fit is a small/medium sized company with a hair on fire green or brownfield problem that needs solving. I'm available immediately, and champing at the bit. Even if you're unsure, get in touch. Email in profile.

I've built and run a site that receives ~20 mill pageviews per month(private, can showcase on interview if needed). Currently interested in generative AI, and I have experience creating serverless pipelines for GPU tasks to reduce costs instead of using something like Replicate, huggingface etc. Recent public examples of my work:

https://aieasypic.com/ (800k views per month, 4k+ MRR)- Built my own serverless api for the dreambooth training and AI image inference to reduce costs. Also uses 4 of my own 4090s in my basement

I'm a software developer / engineering manager with a bottom-up, collaborative style, focused on building and supporting resilient, empathetic, business-aware engineering teams who love what they do. I've worked in software since ~2011 and have worked hands-on with many tech stacks during that time- from PHP to Scala and Next.js to Rails. I've been fully remote since 2016 and have hired and managed globally remote team members at multiple companies.

I've worked both hands-on and as a manager and have excelled in both types of role. I'm open to either type or a mix of both depending on the needs of the team/business.

My approach on the management side centers on 1:1s, transparent retros, and fostering a deep understanding of the business purpose behind the work we do.

On the dev side, I prefer buying over building, readable over concise, fast over perfect, and empathy over all.

Over the holidays I built a Rails application that analyzes satellite imagery along US coastlines to identify potential boat anchorages. It works by taking geographic coordinates, fetching satellite images from Google Maps, and using machine learning to classify areas as suitable anchorages, with a built-in interface for training the ML model with new data.

Info: I just graduated college with a computer science degree in December and am eagerly looking for work! I have web development and software development experience and plan to continue growing these skills. I have a very strong work ethic and am a self-driven learner. I am a strong believer in open source software and using technology to help others.

Since I just graduated, I'm looking for somewhere to get my foot in the door as a good "first job". Any suggestions for finding work or building connections would also be greatly appreciated. I have been on HN for years but figured I should create a separate account for this.

Strong Python and C++ developer with intermediate experience with Lua, C#, Java, Javascript, and Rust. My previous job experience was with networking and parsing packets on switches in data centers using C. I also did some QA testing and am open to those jobs. I enjoy working on side projects like making games in Godot, or websites using Flask.
