Open to chatting with companies doing machine learning or offering a job that involves some research and experimentation, not pure engineering. Particularly interested in ranking algorithms and building more value-aligned feed/recommendation systems.

As a teenager, I played CTFs and was into reverse engineering (I still am, just doing it less). I've been working with production systems for over half a decade and close to the EVM for the past two and a half years, with a strong interest in machine learning on the side (implementing papers and doing experiments). Currently training my own transformer on multiple GPUs for custom embeddings.

I've written mostly Go over these years, plus Rust for the past year and Python obviously for the ML. Experienced with the production infrastructure you'd expect: Postgres, Redis, Kubernetes, etc.

Been mostly working on indexing/giving semantic understanding to EVM smart contracts for the last two years as my primary job. Been doing machine learning after work for a few years (implementing papers, doing projects). My interests in machine learning are reinforcement learning and world models / embeddings (see https://github.com/2xic/optimization-playground). I also have a security research mindset having played a lot of CTFs over the years.

I'm an Ethereum Protocol Fellow for the next few months and want to keep pushing distributed ledger technologies, but also been wanting to do more work on machine learning full time.

Happy to chat with the right company.

I like knowing how things work. Been enjoying machine learning for the last few years, implementing various papers and algorithms after work. My day job for the last ~two years has been related to providing more semantic understanding to the EVM / smart contracts using program and AST analysis.

Looking for a job that has a good mix of research and engineering problems. To put it into perspective, I much more prefer CTF like problems, where you need to figure out the path to solve a problem over a predefined plan for solving a problem.

Happy to share more info with the right company :)

I am self-driven and able to work independently, with a problem-solving mindset.

My Github has various projects, including some with a focus on machine learning (https://github.com/2xic/optimization-playground) and a projected where I implemented various part of the Ethereum execution layer (github.com/2xic/tinyeth).

Willing to relocate: Negotiable

Technologies:

Python, TypeScript, Golang, GraphQL, Sql, Git, infrastructure (devops, azure / cloud, pipelines, etc), React, Vue.

Have experience with more low level languages like rust and c (++), but I don't code in that daily. Can easily pick it up again if necessary.

Plays with machine learning, and crypto related projects on the weekends.

- https://github.com/2xic/tinyeth a tiny ethereum client. Has many of the core Ethereum protocols features implemented like RLP, EVM, network layer components, +++. I also started on a tiny solidity to evm opcodes compiler for fun.

- https://github.com/hackathon-hack-money-2022 was my hackmoney hackathon project.

- You can find various ML projects on https://github.com/2xic-speedrun and https://github.com/2xic

I'm in a happy where I am, but posting this to see what opportunities are out there.

Most interested in a place where I can work more on crypto, machine learning projects, or maybe even some trading firm.
