What is Cracked Engineers platform?
First, let me start with a question.
What does it mean to be a "cracked engineer"?
Cracked engineer is one of those mythical creatures that you can't properly describe using human language. But you can recognize one when you see him/her in action.
They're the proverbial 10x engineer.
They're a part of the priesthood.
They're a holy class of cracked creatures.
They:
Go for a night out, and after a few beers end up coding up GANs forever changing the field of generative AI.Dim down the lights and code the most hard core CUDA kernels you've ever seen - CUDA MODE!Get annoyed by a closed-source OS and end up building an OSS version that takes over the world.Get stuff done, they love to code, they love efficiency, they are enemies of slow, and enemies of "can not be done".Why did I create "Cracked Engineers" platform?
On one hand side my goal with Cracked Engineers is to build the best platform in the world to hire great engineers.
On the other hand side I want to help AI developers, and engineers in general, discover the best possible offers in order to help them advance their careers, and their dreams.
I honestly wish I had this platform when I was just getting started in the field.
Some of the first job posts I had on this platform came from my personal network. A few words on those companies:
Unsloth AI - Daniel Han (co-founder) belongs to the cracked engineers priesthood. His Triton kernels have been capturing AI community's attention for quite a while now. They made fine-tuning faster & more memory efficient. Together with his brother Mike, the business wizard, they're one of the hottest YC startups from the last batch. Daniel also gave a talk on my Discord server a few months ago, and then later I met both of them on a Nous Research party in SF. Small world.Julius - Rahul (founder/CEO) is going full founder mode. His Twitter prank shows the type of creativity and spontaneity that emit founder energy. Julius, his company, has been amassing users at an incredible pace. They recently crossed 1M users and the team is cracked! I got to meet Rahul in SF for a late night walk around the city talking startups.Weaviate - Bob (CEO) is one of the hardest working yet kindest founders I got to know over the years. Weaviate is one of the best vector DB companies out there. And, they're open-source! I met Bob back in 2020 when I open-sourced a now extremely popular implementation of Graph Attention Networks. We haven't met in person yet, but that will change soon! :)Jimini Health - Luis is a founder of Jimini and an ex-cofounder of a unicorn startup called immunai. We accidentally got to know of each other's work through LinkedIn. I was still at Google DeepMind while he was running immunai. And it turned out immunai collabed with DeepMind as well. Luis is one of those people who are always there to help you, an amazing human being. Naturally his next move after immunai was focusing on solving the mental health epidemic!OpenPipe - David (co-founder) was the first person to say "yes" to my idea. :) We serendipitously met at a dinner organized by Cerebras in SF. I showed him an alpha version of the app and his immediate reaction was - yes let's do it! Bias to action, one more feature that describes great founders. OpenPipe, David's company, allows you to fine-tune your models and create high-quality & fast models that continuously improve!I'm confident in saying I'd personally apply for all of these startups If I was not a founder myself.
Obviously scaling up I can't keep this same amount of curation, and dare I say, intimacy - but going forward one of my goals will be to keep this same quality of offers, and to attract the best tech companies to post on this platform and find their future teammates.
Shifting focus a bit, my personal story into the world of machine learning has already been told multiple times. :)
Briefly here - I'm a completely self-taught machine learning engineer (and AI engineer).
I did my undergrad in EE.
I attended a ML summer camp organized by Microsoft employees in Serbia, and that changed my life. I found a direction in life.
After a couple of software engineering internships in Germany & Brazil I ended up working at Microsoft on the HoloLens team.
I helped them ship glasses detection, eye tracking, and I worked on next gen mixed reality devices.
During that work I used all of my free time to read ML research papers, open source ML projects, write blog posts about my learnings, and film deep dives into the papers and share that on my YouTube.
This tight loop repeated over many months ended up with me joining DeepMind (and getting referred to DeepMind by my great friend (and long-term Patreon) Petar Velickovic!).
I led the development of the Flamingo (vision language model) bulk inference platform at DeepMind. This helped teams such as YouTube Shorts caption short videos and index them, and thus make them searchable. It also helped YouTube Ads get "eyes" and help with ad suitability.
After years spent as an engineer I decided to go into founder mode and since then I've been building. And here we are.
