I’m a YC alumni. I specialize in AI and machine learning, with experience in backend and fullstack development, as well as data engineering. I have shipped new features and products powered by big data, machine learning and AI. I help companies build AI driven products that customers love. My most recent project involves building multi-lingual, multimodal conversational AI.

Email: ivy AT studioxolo.com

I just built a conversational AI and tried it - me talking to Santa. I find the experience quite a pleasant surprise!

If you'd like to try, send me an email.

I'm experimenting with conversational AI, for example live video calls with Santa. Super fun.

If you want to try, send me an email.

Looking for an AI/ML Engineering role preferably in an innovation lab of an established company that incubates AI-driven products.

Working on GrocerBird[1] where you upload a grocery receipt, it will parse all of the items and their prices, so you can keep track of grocery spending and prices over time. Please feel free to share your feedback and suggestions!

[1]: https://www.grocerbird.com

I've mentored senior software developers transitioning to ML - everyone comes from slightly different background and experience. Feel free to schedule an intro call to discuss your specific situation https://cal.com/studioxolo/intro.

I created

- SignalsTalk[1] to study quantitative trading signals and algorithms, for my own curiosity.

- YCVerify[2] for verifying YC companies and founders. No one else is using it yet.

- Content Credentials API[3], to find the signatures of AI generated content.

I'm also working on:

- A search engine for online ads.

- A way to track grocery item prices from receipts using LLMs.

I've been using AWS Chalice[1] (Python), which powers SignalsTalk[2], YCVerify[3] and AirExif[4].

The same job title could have very different responsibilities. I have been more of a "full-stack" MLE, I work from research and prototyping all the way to production software engineering and ML infra/dev-ops. I have also been mentoring MLEs and ML tech leads/managers - schedule a free 30-min intro call at: https://cal.com/studioxolo/intro.

I rebuilt my personal website[1] (static site) using Astro[2], and it was a pleasant experience.

For static web apps like my portfolio and blog[1], I use GitHub+Netlify.

I try to use AWS Lambdas as serverless backend as much as possible, for API products like [2].

If a server is absolutely required like running a Ghost blog/newsletter [3], I use AWS Lightsail mainly because I'm familiar with AWS in general and it offers generous free tier.

I have a LinkedIn profile but I'm not actively managing it. I prefer to maintain my own portfolio website (+resume and blog) https://ivylee.github.io/. As my former co-worker who uses LinkedIn for sourcing candidates said - you won't discover me as an expert ML engineer from my LinkedIn profile. And I'm fine with that :)

In addition to taking care of myself and my family, I'm working on:

- Polishing my personal website[1], and going back to blogging.

- Figuring out trading signals[2] and algorithms, testing via paper trading.

- An API[3] to verify YC company and founders.

- Monitoring my investment portfolio, re-balance once or twice a year.

- Mentoring AI/ML engineers and leaders. Free 30-min intro call[4].

- Various indie projects that are under research or haven't been launched... :)

I just moved my newsletter[1] away from Substack to Ghost over the weekend - the writing experience is better, especially SEO settings. Substack has grown way too complicated (just look at the settings page) and useless (the social features), it still prompts you to post your links to twitter/facebook anyways (implying that's where the traffic comes?). At this point Substack's value prop is non-existent.

I think the best thing about running solo is I can control my own timeline and goals. I am working on multiple projects [1][2][3][4]. Every day I write down a short list of what I want to achieve on my note-taking app LogSeq[5], and I try to finish the list. Alternating projects and the nature of work (development/research/marketing) change my rhythm and keep me learning and feeling energized.
