I’m a full stack engineer with 5+ years of experience, and also have ~5 years of experience in AI/ML research in academia. Currently working as a developer mainly in Typescript.

I’m looking for something interesting with hard problems to solve, ideally something a bit out of the ordinary. I’m experienced in several languages & technologies, and am open to working with any of them, but I’m also a super fast learner and would be very interested in trying out something new.

I've been a PhD student in Machine Learning for the past 3.5 years, but due to personal circumstances am having to leave the programme, so am looking for alternative opportunities that I can go on to. I also have a BSc in Mathematics and an MSc in Computer Science, and 3 years work experience in software development, doing a mix of fullstack JS/React and Ruby on Rails. I'm open to any ML or software dev roles.

I'm a PhD student researching Machine Learning/Deep Learning, with experience in web development and a background in mathematics. I'm looking for part time work (up to ~20 hours/week) for a year while I complete my PhD. I can be flexible with working hours. Also open to internships opportunities.

I have previous professional experience in web development, both front and back end, mainly with React/NodeJS but also in Ruby on Rails. I'm a fast learner and am not afraid of trying something new.
