Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (July 2023)

I provide consulting services for everything in the OpenAI / LLM / ChatGPT realm. I'm an ex-Google consultant who now enjoys working with LLMs. After extensive work on projects for the likes of a16z and Village Global, I've developed advanced techniques for solving traditional problems in the space.

I mainly provide Chat Bot / Assistant / Co-Pilot / Question Answering systems over your custom / private dataset. Everything from basic (vector similarity retrieval + chat functionality) to advanced (massive accuracy improvement over vector similarity) systems.

I also have extensive ETL / data experience, so if your dataset is large, and/or is not already cleaned / prepared / queryable, that won't be an issue.

All projects are fixed-price (no hourly billing). A typical basic chat bot / question answering system is $15,000 flat fee (excluding cloud hosting and OpenAI API costs) with a 2-week turnaround.

This summer, I am thrilled to be selected as a Google Summer of Code 2023 Student Developer at GitLab for the second consecutive year. My GSoC project aims to enhance GitLab's merge request comparisons using git range-diff, enabling effective code reviews and verifying changes during rebasing.

Recently, I have been selected as a mentee for The Linux Foundation's LFX Mentorship Spring 2023 Program, to work on the Cortex Project. I am working on implementing an API in Cortex for importing old Prometheus TSDB block data to simplify the migration of data from Prometheus to Cortex.

Last summer, I worked as a Google Summer of Code 2022 Student Developer at GitLab, a DevOps platform. I worked with the Gitaly team, which is a Git RPC service which is responsible for handling git calls made by GitLab. My tasks were to integrate the mailmap feature in GitLab. Apart from that, I also worked on GitLab's contributor graph feature to use git-shortlog which will improve the performance of the graph.

I chronicled my GSoC journey in my personal blog https://siddharthasthana.dev/archives/. Here is the link to it: https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/archive/2022/projects/ya...

My GSoC work got highlighted in the GitHub and Git communities. Here is the link:

I have been actively contributing to other OSS projects like Zulip which is a real-time team chat system and Git, a distributed version control system. At IVY, I have written functions and tests for the ML transpiler and deep learning framework. In the process, I learned not only about how web platforms work, but also have some knowledge of how low level systems like kernel work.
