Elston Tan Email and Phone Number
Click on 'see more' to see how I can help you :)Need a co-founder? I've bootstrapped many tech startups from Singapore, Hong Kong and United States before, acquiring over 60k USD in pre-seed funding with NO equity given away as well as partnering and securing pilots with UPenn (University of Pennsylvania), HKU (University of Hong Kong) and UTP (Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS). With experiences as CEO/CTO in many startups my strengths lay in coordinating cross-functional teams, constructing and executing business and technological strategies as well as sales and marketing.Need a Full-Stack Engineer? I've built and maintained quality production-ready platforms for startups, clients and volunteer organisations in short periods of time, handling database engineering, authentication as well as design. I have led countless teams as the lead developer and have implemented an agile workflow to see constant and serious progress. I mainly (not limited) build with NextJS, TailwindCSS, Firebase, MongoDB and FastAPI to ensure modern design, scalability and simplicity.Need an AI Research Engineer? I've assisted many research/principal scientists in research and client projects where I help with publishing research papers (published one in NeurIPS 2024) as well as building end-to-end production-ready pipelines to serve humans with the power of AI. Ask me anything, finetune LLMs, solve niche engineering problems, create custom loss functions or metrics, configure model architectures to make custom ones for your needs, benchmark 10 different SOTA (state of the art) models at once, optimize models for production, create comprehensive reports, anything and I'll do it for you :)If you have scrolled all the way down here, you're either really bored or genuinely want to get to know me. My current interests? Warfighting and defensive AI technology, quantum machine learning and computing and bettering myself. My hobbies include practicing Muay Thai, going to the gym and building stuff. If you need me, drop me a message or an email @ elston1703@gmail.com don't be shy.
