Exploring SLMs, LLMs. Ex-Microsoft

About

I am interested in SLMs, finetuning, self hosting, agentic orchestration, LLM Infra, and how SLMs and AI on the edge can change daily workflows, on consumer hardware. Extremely interested in exploring how coding LLMs affect the potential and scope of Indie game development.
