Been writing code for 25+ years. 10+ years professionally. Started freelancing a few years back. I've done a number of projects with the community so far, and really hoping to find new avenues currently. On the side I release a great deal of open source software at https://github.com/jcmccormick.

I've made web applications (front and back end concurrently) for the majority of my time developing. However, now I have turned my sights on to LLM use. I have now learned how to work with all kinds of backends (JAX, Transformers, PyTorch, etc.) while being able to effectively fine tune my own models (from other bases). Definitely not a math major, but I do understand the practical use and intentions of model layers, matrix multiplications, and other various inner processes of neural networks.

I am currently working on a project that produces AST parses of one of my projects (20k+ loc), turns them into embeddings, and trains a model to answer questions and help me continue to code that project. All I can say is that it does work on principle, and is just a matter of time before I'll have a generalized pipeline for such projects.

If any of this sounds valuable to you, I'm certainly looking forward to utilizing my knowledge, so please do reach out via linkedin messenger, or my email. Thanks for your time.
