I’ve done heavy infra, serious model and feature engineering, or both on all of FB Ads and IG organic before 2019, did a startup on attention/transformer models at the beginning of 2019, and worked in extreme multi-class settings in bioinformatics this year.

And out of all the nightmare “we have so many qualified candidates we can’t even do price discovery” conversations in 2023, the ML ones have been the worst.

If you’re running a serious shop that isn’t screwing around and you’re having trouble finding tenured pros who aren’t screwing around, email me! :)
