ALEKSA GORDIĆ
About me
I’m an ex-Google DeepMind / Microsoft ML engineer currently building my own startup – Runa AI. If you’re passionate about multilingual generative AI do reach out to me. I’m looking for extremely passionate and smart people with a track record to reinvent parts of the internet!
I also run The AI Epiphany YouTube channel, and I occasionally share my projects on GitHub and blogs on Medium.
You can connect with me on LinkedIn, Twitter, Discord. If you wish to support me you can do so on my Patreon.
I’m always creating, hacking, learning, and educating.
