Hi, I’m Logan 👋

I’m a machine learning infrastructure engineer at Google. I write about machine learning, software engineering, and the intersection of the two. I also collect and create resources to help you learn important AI topics.

Why Society’s Backend?

“Backend” is a software term for what’s running behind the scenes to make technology work. “Society’s Backend” is a twist on this word and refers to the people building the technology that allows society to function.

Society’s Backend is more that just articles and resources—it’s a community for engineers to learn the AI skills they need to future-proof their career and build impactful software. Join us!

You can expect my articles to:

• Help you understand AI and machine learning engineering.

• Keep you up-to-date on important AI events (including job opportunities and the state of the AI job market).

• Share important resources for learning the things you need to know about AI and software.

• Cut through the misinformation about AI and technology spread online.

It’s been particularly helpful for:

• Software engineers wanting to learn AI engineering.

• AI veterans wanting to stay up-to-date.

• AI enthusiasts wanting a realistic understanding of the AI.

Some helpful articles

If you’re unsure about joining, check out some of my favorite articles:

• How AI systems don’t conform to the traditional software engineering practices
