spro - Sean P. Robertson

Full-stack engineer with deep AI/ML roots, shipping product and infrastructure.

I am building Joba Tea, an AI-accelerated job application platform.
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 language 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.
Sometimes I cut wood and glue it back together.
