Pierce Freeman — ML researcher and systems engineer in San Francisco
Software engineer and writer
pierce.devEngineers have always been obsessed with automating the minutia so we can focus on the fun stuff.
ML researcher and systems engineer who writes about the intersection of AI infrastructure, developer tooling, and the practicalities of building software. His posts move comfortably between language model architectures and home automation scripts, always with a builder's pragmatism — he's less interested in hype and more interested in what actually works.
