Space Step Inc.

As a software engineer with more than 10 years of experience, I specialize in working in startup environments. I have gained a wealth of knowledge through my experience as a software engineer, DevOps, cloud architect, and CTO. Last two years I focused on helping startups leverage the AI by building and incorporating AI solutions. Currently, I'm working on building in-house AI solutions, with long term goal to provide a user-friendly platform for building AI products. I believe the future is not in using a single foundational LLM (e.g. GPT-4), but in variety of smaller, fine tuned LLMs. I'm looking for interesting AI projects on Upwork to further advance my knowledge and also learn more about startup environment for my own product.
