Hi, I'm Nate. I've been a DevOps/Platform engineer for ~10 years and was a Mac/iOS app developer before that. My background is broad and strange, I'm less of a t-shaped person than a comb-shaped guy with a bunch of weird deep spikes and more than a few weird gaps.

I want to move into machine learning and AI, ideally HPC and/or scientific/research computing. My plan is to move into MLOps, then move from there into HPC, and my longterm goal (5-10 years) is to move into deep tech research and possibly get my PhD in CS or math (somewhere in the area of topology/manifolds if the latter).

I recently had a come-to-$DEITY moment and I'm taking a week off work to do a deep-dive on Slurm and as many other topics as I can cram into each day. I'm new in this space and I have a lot to learn, but I'm really ambitious and looking for a place that won't slow me down.
