Software Developer with Backend and Infra Expertise

Worked as a software developer for 9 years - mostly startups and developed a knack for figuring things out. Got laid off a few months ago and spent a few months catching up on LLMs and seeing if a few projects stuck (LLMOps). Now applying for jobs and new personal goal is to be a core contributor to Pytorch. Would love to find something local since I've been remote even before COVID and miss the in-person collaboration.
