Hi! I'm Otis. I'm a Machine Learning Engineer and Full-Stack developer with several years of experience working with AI and tech-centric companies. I enjoy building sites, apps, & exploring Artifical Intelligence. My focus is React (Next.js)

About Me

During the lockdown of 2020, my passion for programming really took off. I had years of prior experience programming, but something felt different... this time, I wanted to make a career out of it. Going to YouTube and Amazon, I ordered textbooks and watched videos, slowly teaching myself full-stack web development. Eventually, after making several projects of my own, I started doing freelance contract work, where I found a position at PygmalionAI, helping develop their website and platform. Since then, I've also had many more opportunities and am currently a member of Nous Research, also doing contract work for other Tech & AI-oriented companies in the meantime. My core stack is React, Next.js, Node.js, and Prisma. I am also familiar with MongoDB and most SQL libraries, and also have a few years of experience developing Discord bots as a service. Being very driven and work-oriented, I always try to find a way to solve my problems, or use my resources to guide me. I am currently looking for a full-time position as a software developer.

When I'm not coding, I like to spend time with my family, play video games, and read books. I am also a classical pianist of 13 years, and love to perform for family and friends.
