About
Hey, I’m Bogdan
Studied Deep Learning when GANs were the talk of the town, but ended up building a career around Platform Engineering. I combine the two and write about creating performant Engineering Platforms for the ML & GPU-bound age.
Recently exploring information retrieval algorithms, especially inference at the edge, and nudging small LLMs to give decent outputs. You can see the results in action @ Trending on Weibo.
