About The Position

I am looking to engage an experienced AI / LLM developer who is physically based in South Florida (Palm Beach, Broward, or Miami-Dade). This is a paid, project-based engagement that requires in-person collaboration. Remote candidates will not be considered. Project Overview The objective is to design and implement a locally hosted AI system running on a high-powered laptop, functioning as a private, personalized AI assistant. The project will include: Deploying a local or hybrid LLM architecture Optimizing the system to fully utilize available hardware (CPU, GPU, RAM, VRAM) Designing a persistent memory and knowledge system Architecting an approach to mirror or preserve the accumulated knowledge, context, and behavioral patterns of an existing ChatGPT account, within technical and platform constraints Building the system for long-term use, extensibility, and customization This is not a beginner role, not prompt engineering, and not a theoretical exercise. I’m looking for someone who understands both the capabilities and limits of current AI tooling and can engineer a practical, robust solution.
