Hello, I'm Billy.

I'm a Platform Operations Engineer working for dotdigital . I'm focusing on LLMs and how to use them for the greater good. Previously i've worked in a genetics lab, as a sysadmin, and as an IT infrastructure engineer, but I'm a tinkerer at heart. I'm deeply interested in building tools that make technology more accessible and delightful to use.

I can help you out with:

  • Python
  • React.js
  • LLM fine-tuning
  • RAG implementation
  • and more...
