I'm Sherman Chann (main), a former infosec/SWE guy currently working as a Machine Learning Engineer at ElevenLabs.
I have predominantly worked on LLMs for the past 2 years, and my knowledge in other areas is atrophied/irrelevant by now.
Rough breakdown of my experience (or lackthereof) coverage
- obvious basic knowledge (hf familiarity, basic finetuning, gpu poor tricks, inference engines, evals)
- small-scale pretraining ("0-499" GPUs), mostly in pure pytorch / with transformerengine.
- a little bit more MoE knowledge than average
If you'd like to chat, please contact me over twitter/discord/email. No links will be provided.
Do not contact me for audio-related discussions; I obviously cannot say anything useful in that sector.
If you're interested in the work I was doing (webdev, CTF, general software engineering, competitive programming, game dev, etc) prior to 2022, you can read a more comprehensive account at my about page.
If you are interested in how I pivoted to ML, see here.
