About William Barber

I\'m a self taught developer, search relevance engineer, and entrepreneur. I’ve spent the last few years building search systems - first at my own fledgling startup and eventually for other organizations. Along the way I learned to fine tune language models, embedding models, and re-rankers to help maximize the performance of those systems. Today I’m focused on helping Turbopuffer’s customers get the best possible search results.
