@spro @sprobertson @sprobertson

I am a front/back/deep-end engineer, turning vague ideas into functioning web and mobile apps.

• Co-founder of Prontotype, consulting & contracting for early stage startups.
• I wrote the NLP From Scratch series of PyTorch tutorials focused on building language models to classify, generate, and translate text.
• I created a recursive RNN intent parser in PyTorch to translate multi-clause natural phrases into home automation commands.
• Before the PyTorch era I braved Lua Torch to make a seq2seq intent parser for the same purpose.
• Learning Lua also led me to creating a plugin for dynamic Nginx proxy configuration using Redis.
• I started a JSON-first shell-like language, supporting novel concepts such as parallel pipes.
• Sometimes I leave the big computer to build things with small computers, like a modal USB knob with ATMega and ATTiny microcontrollers.
