SEEKING WORK | Denver, CO | Remote | Manufacturing Engineer

I am a mechanical engineer with a background in CNC manufacturing. I work with clients ranging from start-ups to established corporations, helping to consult and manufacture prototypes. I excel in helping other engineers who lack manufacturing experience design a product which will be manufacturable, along with discovering ways to lower costs and improve the product goal.

With my own in-house CNC manufacturing capabilities (milling, turning, plasma cutting) using state of the art industrial equipment, I am able to easily expedite prototypes for my clients.

I am well rounded with skills outside of mechanical engineering including experience in automation and control systems, robotics, software development, and more.

Current projects include developing engine dynamometer systems, including the required control systems and mechanical assemblies to accurately test racing engines: https://www.precisiondynotech.com/

As a Sr. Software Engineer & Web-developer primarily working with Python frameworks. I am comfortable wearing many hats, and have worked through small to large sized projects for different sized clients (small to enterprise), building tech both on the Back & Front-end as well as Infra. I am currently looking for an AI or LLM company to work with. I have worked with clients in AI since 2022 - and am currently spending several hours per day experimenting with AI & LLMs. From getting my hands dirty with the latest models and papers, to working on small applications that use AI. Especially when it comes to agentive apps (read: function calling or code writing-and-executing models), real world simulations (simulating 1000s of interactions with LLMs) or forecasting with LLMs. I have a few exploratory side-projects to show. And a huge amount of passion for the subject matter (productizing AI & LLMS) to bring to the table. AI-Stack keywords: LangChain, LLamaIndex, AutoML, MLFlow, AG2 (formerly Autogen), TinyTroupe, Oasis

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

I'm a data scientist and I've been absolutely slaughtered by this recession. I lost a big project in July and haven't picked anything up since. Everything is "on hold", "Taking it in house". I hope things will start moving again.

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

I've worked on projects including large language models, knowledge extraction, automotive part 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.

Get in touch. Even if you're unsure, get in touch. Referals welcome. Email in profile.

[palerdot]

My 2 cents. Get a temporary job that is tangentially related to your skill sets. For example, if you are comfortable with python, there are plenty of backend jobs (api, LLM integration etc). Along with recession, people might be just using LLM tools instead of hiring a full-time data scientist, which might be the reason for less data science positions. I'm not familiar with data science domain and this may not be a accurate read of the situation. In any case, I think instead of waiting for the perfect data scientist job, just take a tangential job atleast temporarily. It will relieve some pressure, and you can better focus your energy on searching for your ideal job.

Wishing you luck for your search!
