Hi. I’m Cedric, a software engineer, mentor, ex-startup founder, and T-shaped person with years of experience working on software systems and product engineering. I sometimes organize study groups, contribute to open source, be part of the larger tech community, and mentor junior devs. I started as a full stack engineer after which I got into mobile dev and then moved to machine learning engineering. I did my fellowship at fast.ai during my mid-career switch in 2017. I have been on 1-year sabbatical learning new skills. I spent 14 months in educational retreat from 2019 to Feb 2020 — 7 months as an Entrepreneur-In-Residence (EIR) at Antler and the rest of the time in code retreat. I've written before about my 16 years career in tech: https://cedricchee.com/2020/04/21/career-and-code-retreat-re....
In my last role, I created a medical diagnostics SaaS business for physicians. I build a deep learning application using PyTorch (CNN), Golang (APIs, services, gRPC), TypeScript/React (frontend), Apache Beam/Airflow (basic data processing), and many more.
Yes, that’s what you see in the picture, although as completely personal advice, I would stop short of recommending it. For one there are arguably better cases out there now, and you can sometimes build your own eGPU rig for less. Finally, the Mac software integration (with any eGPU) is very hacky at the moment despite the community’s best efforts, and I had to deal with a lot of kernel panics and graphics crashes, so overall I’m not sure I would recommend others attempt the same setup.
