I'd love to get into ML if there's a scientific/research slant, e.g. simulations, optimizations, etc. I'm very interested in HPC and have played a little with Slurm/Lmod/Singularity, but haven't managed to break in. I want to do work that benefits humanity, or at least a nontrivial subset thereof.

My major lifelong fascinations center around artificial life, computability, computational social sciences, GOFAI, etc, but I tend to shift focus a lot and do a lot of deep dives into random spots on the CS/IT landscape.

My weaknesses: in-depth knowledge; I'm really not an SME of anything. I haven't scaled things to millions of requests per minute. I don't spend time grinding LeetCode. I'm probably not suited for early-stage startups, either temperamentally or professionally; I lean toward sustainability, pragmatism, and care, eating my own dogfood, and sticking around long enough to learn from my own mistakes. I tend to write too much.

My strengths: I'm curious, easy to get along with, focused on continual improvement, and probably some kind of workaholic. I'm a good researcher and I've developed some good instincts.
