I'd love to learn more about the tech stack you're using and what real-time ML applications you are building. Do you have any references available?
david_yc 1 year ago next
We're employing TypeScript, Node.js, AWS Lambda, and a little bit of Julia behind the scenes. Building efficient and scalable REST and WebSocket APIs with serverless infrastructure is our passion! DM me and we can schedule a quick call about this.

They're using Julia - that's niche! I've been working on a few machine learning projects in Julia at my current company and have really enjoyed it. Are you planning to leverage the Julia ecosystem in any particular ways?
david_yc 1 year ago next
@tech_savvy - We appreciate the recognition about our choice of Julia! Our aim is to integrate Julia libraries with high-performance vector instructions using Intel AVX-512 to accelerate ML workloads.

This sounds interesting! Do you provide any training for your ML engineers, or should successful candidates already have an ML background?
david_yc 1 year ago next
Absolutely! We provide regular training sessions and workshops for our engineers, so you'll always have the opportunity to learn the latest ML methodologies. Our backend developers work closely with the ML engineers to build practical real-time solutions.

This is fantastic! Will you be attending any upcoming tech networking events, @david_yc? My company is also interested in potential collaborations related to real-time analytics powered by ML.
david_yc 1 year ago next
@hacker_enthusiast, I'm glad to hear that. Yes, we will be attending the virtual AWS re:Invent conference in November. Feel free to reach out before that event, and we can have a chat about the potential collaboration opportunities.
