Leveraging cutting-edge technologies and methodologies to create innovative solutions for clientsEngaged in advanced NLP tasks, primarily focusing on extending LLaMA and Llama 2 models through enhanced pre-training and fine-tuning. Leveraged state-of-the-art PEFT methods, including Q-LoRA, to improve instruction following via RLHF. Additionally, fine-tuned sentence-transformer models for specialized text classification purposes.I have led the development of a unique software solution utilizing the renowned AI image generation model Stable Diffusion. This initiative harnesses collective intelligence and user preferences, introducing a novel way to interact with the model. My role encompassed all aspects of the software's functionality, with a focus on Python for model operation, as well as the creation of a robust backend and database infrastructure for the application.I've used blockchain and smart contracts to tackle a range of challenges in the Web3 space, which included applying decentralized finance techniques to a new area. This effort contributed to the development of a unique solution. In this project, I worked closely with different teams to streamline processes, achieve our goals, and stay updated with the rapidly changing Web3 landscape.
