Areas of interest: My primary areas of interest is in deep learning, particularly if you want to use Go for deep learning or machine learning. If you want to migrate away from the mess and headache that is Python. Within deep learning, I have a preference for NLP. However I also have experience with image and video related workflows. However that usually comes with some ethics ramifications, discussed below.
Ethics: I will not work on generic "body pose" or "image classification" problems. I have in my past found that work I do on these would end up being used in unsavoury places. The more ethically prickly your area of interest is, the more I will ask for in remuneration. e.g. if you are in the gambling or ad industry seeking ML work, I will ask for a significantly more than if your product boosts local industry.
Brief About Me: I wrote Gorgonia, which is like TensorFlow and PyTorch out of frustration from working with Theano. Since then I have deployed more than 100 ML systems using Gorgonia into production as both a private consultant and an employee to a corporation. I mainly do the former in a capacity to move mature implementations to a less messy less frustrating codebase. I've worked across industries, and led teams.
I enjoy working on hard problems, enjoy thinking about them and giving talks about various interesting ideas. Some of my talks can be found here: <a href="
Unfortunately, these are currently hard to get due to time commitment issues (the pandemic has somewhat shifted my focus to family). So some flexibility is sought.
