Build, Innovate, and Scale AI Frameworks with iMelonArt.We started to build an AGI MVP in 2023 together with building practices and learnings on generative AI, fine-tuning open-source AI models ( Llama 2 and 3, Mistral, Gemma etc), RAG, LangChain/LlamaIndex, Semantic Kernel GPU infrastructure with Kubernetes and AI/ML Ops. Check out our projects here : https://github.com/iMelonArtAnd I'm so excited that in May 2024, upon the validation of the product vision & strategy, and business model, as well as the MVP demo, iMelonArt is moving to level 3 - Grow in Microsoft Startup Founders Hub, and we're heading to grow to level 4 - Scale and make ourselves the best candidate for Microsoft Pegasus program.

I am CNCF Ambassador + Kubernetes SIG release group member & WG - Device management member for AI accelerated workloads on Kubernetes.GITHUB : github.com/cloudmelonBeing an ambassador allows me to connect more with the community. I would love to share knowledge and learn, and I hope to help others learn about cloud-native technologies like Kubernetes and how Kubernetes serves as the backbone in the age of AI. I'm eager to engage in public speaking events with CNCF and mentor new learners in workshops & hackathons. Personally, I will continue to create engaging educational content to help people navigate the complexities of Kubernetes adoption more effectively.I'm passionate about open-source and cloud-native technologies, particularly Kubernetes and serverless, and their intersection with Data & AI workloads. I authored multiple books about Kubernetes over the years, for instance, the Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) Exam Guide and the Kubernetes Workshop, published by Packt Publishing, with the intention to help learners skill up on Kubernetes and find a new career path. Personally, I also run the @CloudMelonVis YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@CloudMelonVis) and Cloud-Native Innovators newsletter on LinkedIn and for your mailbox if you're interested in cloud-native technologies ( https://newsletter.cloudmelonvision.com). I would love to continue advocating cloud-native technologies and share my knowledge & learnings. FYI, my blog (https://cvisiona.com) and Github : https://github.com/cloudmelon. Happy to connect!
