👋🏽 Hi, I’m Wasim

I’m a machine learning engineer and aspiring entrepreneur.

This is where I write about what I’m working on, which includes notebook-driven development, artificial intelligence, software design, programming languages, and other musings.

You might also want to check out my full list of projects, talks, and TILs (today I learneds).

Previously, I held technical leadership positions in South African AI startups in manufacturing and agriculture. Before that, I was a professional DotA 2 player.

👨🏽‍💻 Hire me

Do you use nbdev for notebook-driven development and need it adapted to your business needs? Do you need support architecting and building machine learning systems? Do you need to implement a novel deep learning technique customized to your use-case?

I’m open to consulting or contract work on a per-project basis. If you’d like to get in touch, please DM me on Twitter or email me at mwlorgat@gmail.com and let’s chat!
