I’m building tools to augment the lives of visually impaired people. Ping if you’re interested.
Seeking motivated cofounder(s) interested in legaltech/edtech/govtech. I am a domain expert in Veterans Disability law, 1.7mil in revenue (me and 3 paralegals) in 2020, formed Veteran Disability boutique firm in 2021. Looking to build the "Clio for Veterans Disability Claims." Although this is a single, niche area of administrative law, there are more than enough customers on an individual (veterans with claims, accr…
I can tell you from my own experience that one of the biggest hurdles was obtaining accurate medical records from hospitals and clinics outside of the DoD (for those times when on-base providers were insufficient). Every VSO I tried to work with seemed overly burdened and unfamiliar with how to communicate with systems outside of the state they lived in, and definitely useless in trying to get info from private hospi…
Getting medical records from private provider X is really: - Should they exist because treatment was provided in the past? - Do they still exist in reality (some private providers have very harsh retention policies - shred after 7-10 years) - Did they get the request? - Did they respond correctly to the request? - Does the response contain helpful information for any claim? - Has it been submitted? - Has it been submitted but not acknowledged? - Has it been acknowledged but not for the probative value we judged it internally?
Like - that's just a very SMALL part of the daily process of tracking that goes on everyday for every client.
The claims file contains some n# of pdfs when I become rep. I do work in the background to review those explicit contents, make implicit judgments, and work further in the background on the creation/requesting of evidence to be staged for possible inclusion/submission to the VA. In the meantime, VA is further adding to the claims file with every letter/memo/exam/set of VA medical records.
VSOs are overly burdened and sometimes ill-fit for certain parts of the process, but they have always only truly excelled at filing new, initial claims or new claims for increases - not appeals or anything requiring nuance. Attorneys have really only been involved in the process in a major way for less than 15 years versus over generations of the VSOs but attorneys assisting veterans now outnumbers help from VSOs for the first time within the last year. Our average odds are also higher for success - it's something like 12% do it yourself, 22% VSO, 32% with help from an attorney. I can't recall exactly but it's in the annual reports of the VBA and BVA.
I'm full-time exploring VR, video, and some hard tech problems, primarily using rust. A few things I'm poking around with: - VR molecule visualization in bevy (a la pymol) - real-time video production also in bevy - VR instruments Based in SF, always down to chat with people with similar interests!
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Hi, I have been working on a trading bot for crypto in rust for the last ~18 months. The agent and the infrastructure (collecting and preprocessing data) are up and running. I have been collecting and cleaning TBs (yes TBs) of data for ~1 year now. However, I have way too little knowledge in ML/AI and it is very hard to fill the gap. I am looking for someone that can help me in that area and improve the bot to levera…
Cant see an email address on your public profile. Interested in talking.
I work for a national park in the Democratic Republic on the Congo as a tech lead. Some of the things we are doing: LoRaWAN for tracking and emergency response, ML to identify gorillas by their unique nose prints, and long-range drones for mapping and surveillance, and a management web app. If you’re interested in conservation / sustainable development and associated technologies let me know! Always looking to collab…
How does one find a job like that, it sounds amazing! I originally studied environmental science before having worked as a Data Scientist and now Data Engineer for the past 4 years. I worked a lot with geospatial data and sat images. Ultimately I would love to combine both again and use these skills to do something useful for the environment. If anyone has links to orgs/companies that do relevant work and hire (or wa…
NGOs jobs tend to be structured on topics as much as on functions, so making a shortlist of topical keywords might be helpful in the search to become aware of organizations. You should also look directly at organizations' staff lists, which are typically fairly open and have emails listed. One thing to be aware of is many nonprofits have tightly budgeted projects with specific needs, so getting your foot in the door on a less interesting project might be needed. Generalists can benefit here.
I know a few job sites that collect these kind of positions, some techy and some not:
https://greenjobs.greenjobsearch.org/

Last I will mention the nonprofit organization I work for - World Resources Institute (https://wri.org). We organize our work around seven global challenges: food, forests, water, the ocean, energy, climate, and cities. We do research, build data products and applications, organize partnerships. We help tackle some the largest questions related to how we collectively transition to a world where more than 9 billion humans have their food and energy needs met through fair economic and environmental systems.
Would love to exchange ideas.
Senior Engineer, semi retired. Working in my spare time on various side projects, but i would really enjoy some input of which project to focus on, collaborate on and potentially incorporate. 1. Digital Assistant for on premise installation, already built that as lead architect for a customer of mine but want to take the concept fruther ( think star trek TNG computer ) 2. Continous integration platform for ML Models,…
I think I'll eventually get to ML CI, whether as part of a startup, or back in regular employee life.

Do you think you will opensource any of it? I am always interested in workflow tools for various domains.
Serverless Authz. Think of an authz (not authn) solution that can be plugged into next.js's serverless API (REST and GraphQL) easily through a javascript library or middleware. At the early stages, still working out the feature set and roadmap, but looking to build a simple MVP that provides immediate value to SaaS builders. Looking for like-minded engineers with domain knowledge in other areas (not necessarily techn…
I know it's not what you are saying but seems relevant if you haven't already seen it.
I think there is a ton of room for new players in the authn and authz markets. I like how narrow you are focused.

That sounds pretty interesting! I am definitely interested in following along. Do you think you will opensource any of it? I am always interested in workflow tools for various domains.
I support open source and one of the things I truly hate is that several case management products don’t even offer open APIs. A few of them have closed them after initially opening them. Or just generally learning they can massively up charge for the “luxury.”
