I work on optimizing our inference code, "productizing" our trained models and currently I'm working on local training and inference since I work in an industry where cloud services just aren't very commonly used yet. It's super interesting too since it's not LLMs, meaning that there aren't as many pre made tools and we have to make tons of stuff by ourselves. That means touching anything from assessing data quality (again, the local part is the challenge) to using CUDA directly as we already have signal processing libs that are built around it and that we can leverage. Sometimes it also involves building internal tooling for our team (we are a mixed team of researchers/MLEs), to visualize the data and the inferences as again, it's a pretty niche sector and that means having to build that ourselves. That allowed me to have a lot of impact in my org as we basically have complete freedom w.r.t tooling and internal software design, and one of the tools that I built basically on a whim is now on the way to be shipped in our main products too.
