(December 2025)"]]>Fantastic! I'll be sending in an application ASAP. I think I would have been a good fit for the AI role, but I no longer see it on the jobs page.

I'm actually quite excited about the Math and CS Producer roles, and I see that you'd like examples of existing online interactive teaching work. I can supply shots of static boards I've used for IRL teaching, but I don't currently have interactive work to showcase. I was thinking of applying immediately, but spending the next week making an interactive demo. Would this work, or should I wait to apply until I have everything in place? I don't want to miss out on this opportunity.

Are you guys able to work with Canadian developers in the NYC timezone, either as independent contractors, or as employees through an Employer of Record (EOR) like Deel? I'd love to get back into education, and I'd bring AI, gamedev, and teaching chops.

This is similar to what I'm doing for long-term memory in AISH, but packaged up nicely. Others have pointed out that they're somewhat abusing the term KG. But ... you could imagine other processes poring over the "raw" text chunks and building up a true KG from that.

Engineering level calculus is not particularly high-level math, but will get you a long way in terms of applications.

Linear search through flat-file of embeddings. Done.

""" Work remotely but willing to travel to Seoul every two months for 6 ~ 8 weeks, or perhaps more often/a bit longer (once the COVID pandemic is under control) """

(December 2023)"]]>Location: Toronto/GTA, Ontario, Canada

Remote: YES (Canadian + German dual citizenship)

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: LLM/FM, Machine Learning, Python, TypeScript, Unity/C#, C++, Objective-C, mobile, VR, video games, physics, biology, computer engineering.

Résumé/CV: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jabaadams/, PDF available on request.

Email: jaba.adams+hnhire@gmail.com

I've been deep into using and developing on top of LLMs for the past year. Learned Typescript / Node. Previous daily go-to was Python. Before that, Unity/C# and C++. Helped ship https://ollie.ai . Side-projects include AISH3 LLM / notes playground (https://github.com/jawa0/aish3), building a personal assistant robot (C++ video streaming). Have done research in an ML + neuroscience lab (http://www.jzlab.org/). Shipped multiple hit mobile games, in the past.

Looking for Machine Learning Engineer roles, Senior Developer roles, back-end developer roles, and data analysis roles. Would be super down to work on programming assistants, embodied assistants, spatial computing, etc. The game-development, tool programming, and teaching experience mean I have skills overlap with design and product management.

A skilled CG industry veteran with no time or $$$ budget and a deep immersion in in say r/combatfootage and physics could probably make something that would pass for real. It's just that all of those talents and circumstances don't really come together. Hmmm.
