I’m an ML Engineer with a software engineering background and an MS in EECS. My recent work has been around deep learning, computer vision and data workflows for real-world ML systems. Before moving into ML, I worked as a back-end Software Engineer building payment processing systems with Java/Spring, REST APIs, and SQL databases.

I’m looking for Applied AI/ML Engineer, Computer Vision Engineer, or SWE roles. I’m especially interested in teams building practical ML systems or applied AI products.

Sponsorship not needed for US roles.

RAT RACE #1 · ACQUIRED sold the company at 27 · walked away with $13.32M · peak burnout 84%

Gotta go grind out some AI B2B Agentic project now...


The hard part for B2B is the sales not tech. You are better off wining and dining a sales guy as your co founder than doing more vibe coding.


The hard part is even knowing what someone would pay for. I don't know if a sales guy knows that or not.


Sales at this level is a negotiation. And, either way, it's common to start your price in the neighborhood of the competition's price.


What does this have to do with my comment? You don't get to the "negotiating a price" part if you never knew what the customer might buy.


I try to resist the urge to vibecode, but yes agree on sales

From my personal experience, it's best to find a windows laptop that supports two m2 nvme slots. Get another cheap ssd and install linux exclusively on it. I have this setup on my laptop and didn't have to deal with wiping anything.

I'm a grad student and researcher at UC Merced. My academic focus and hands-on experience is in training ML/DL models and optimizing inference performance. Professionally I have ~3 yrs of exp as a Backend Software Dev developing payment processing pipelines and integrating them with payment settlement systems.

I am looking for opportunities as an ML/DL engineer or Backend SDE.


Absolutely horrible! I am about to complete my MS EECS degree and have been applying to SWE or MLE roles. Even with my previous ~3 years of Backend Dev experience I am not able to get past resume screening. I just get auto rejected all the time.

Doesn't help the fact that I have been in the US for a little bit more than a year and half, so building a network is pretty hard. Attended a hackathon, won 2nd prize with my team and tried to leverage something from there but no luck at all.

Makes me feel that I might be missing something but no idea what's wrong with my profile. (I don't need sponsorship too).

I'm currently an MS EECS student and a Graduate Student Researcher at UC Merced. My academic focus and hands-on experience are in machine learning, deep learning, and computer vision. I focus on optimizing Deep Learning model performance.

Professionally I have ~3 years of exp as a Backend Software Dev developing payment processing pipelines and integrated them with third-party payment settlement systems (HKICL, BPay to name a few).

I am looking for opportunities as an ML/DL engineer or Backend SWE once I graduate (May 2025).
