Hey everyone, I am Snehil Sanyal. As of Jan 2023, I am completely shifting my focus from academia to open-source development and industrial opportunities. I will still do some research work outside the academic framework, but will prioritize hands-on open source experience and my own ideas which I have been keeping in pending list for so long. Please check out my complete CV here
🧑🏻🏫🧑🏻🎓 I have started providing mentorship to students, and employees and consultation calls for startup clients. Please check out more here
I am also self-learning about foundation models, LLMs and Generative AI in my passtime in the top-down approach (building projects first and learn as a consequence).
