[D] Do my interests intersect with the day to day duties of typical ML engineers?

This seems to be a pretty broad position so I'm trying to figure out if there's an overlap with my passion and what ML engineers actually do in their day to day.

My interests:

1. Low-level programming where performance is critical. GPU for fast operations and SIMD
2. Have some passion for DL but not too much because it appears way too black-boxy for me
3. Am thoroughly fascinated with running models on consumer hardware GGML, LLama.cpp
4. Deep passion …
