Hi, I’m John Allard.
I’m a software engineer with a focus on distributed systems, mostly in the context of machine learning. You can learn more about me on my About page.
This site mostly exists to encourage me to write in public more often. I don’t “blog” much, so I mostly just publish recipes that I’m particularly fond of and reports about recent backpacking trips. Every so often I’ll write a full blog post about some miscellaneous topic that been on my mind.
