Hey Alejandro,

I’m going to give it a shot.

Description About Myself

I am Sritanu Chakraborty. I’ve been primarily working as a remote Deep learning engineer/consultant/freelancer for the past few years.

My daily work consists of using deep learning and machine learning models to solve NLP and vision tasks.

Recently, I worked on distributed deep learning tools using Horovod, building Mixture Density Networks, implementing various probability distributions in PyTorch, and working with heavy zero, right-skewed data.

I have been at the University of Bergen and Alfred Renyi Institute of Mathematics previously. I did my master’s in applied math and informatics from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology.

Apart from consulting, I also work as a freelancer on Upwork. You can take a look at the kind of projects I’ve worked on and my client reviews. Probably, you need an Upwork profile to take a look at all the projects and reviews.

You can find my freelancer profile here : Upwork .

I have been at the University of Bergen and Alfred Renyi Institute of Mathematics previously. I did my master’s in applied math and informatics from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology.

Prior to this, I was a backend engineer (primarily Python but also some vanilla JS) and even before that, I was a QA Engineer. In total, I’ve been a backend engineer for ~3 years and working in the Deep Learning space for ~5 years.

Here’s my resume.

Exposure to Solidity and EVMs

I’m pretty new to this space. Just ~7 months old. Completed the cryptozombies tutorial, chainshot tutorial, and Stephen Grider’s Udemy course. Also, I’m dabbling in the basics of smart contract auditing in the Secureum workshop.

I’ve built some very basic dapps. Nothing majorly complex.

I do have a very basic idea about EVMs.

Conclusion

I’d love to be a part of the program and can devote close to 32 hours per week. I usually work in the western EU timezone. But I can adjust my schedule in order to work with the team.

Also, my best wishes to the other participants.

Regards,
Sritanu

Hi Sritanu! What’s your handle on the discord server so I can reach out to you?

Hello Alejandro,

My name is Dimitar, and I am a web dev with 4+ year experience.

Started tinkering around with Solidity half a year ago and in the meantime, attended and managed to complete the bootcamp from ConsenSys, and also the Secureum bootcamp but didn’t have time to keep up with it in parallel with the aforementioned.

I consider myself as a junior smart contract developer.

My time zone is GMT+1, but I have no issue to adjust to whichever zone is needed, and I can be available for 30+ hours a week.

Here is a link of my github:

Best Regards,
Dimitar

Hi Ale,

My name is Agustin, I am a full stack software developer from Argentina. At the moment, I am working with React + React Native + Elixir (6 years).

I have been studying Solidity for a year, doing CTFs like ethernaut and damn vulnerable defi, and also doing some security bootcamps. I recently finished Secureum bootcamp epoch 0 and did a CARE review of Sherlock protocol. I have been participating in some CodeArena’s contests. Also participating in the new Secureum epoch where there is a CTF contest with Sherlock.

I have been using mainly Hardhat for testing and scripting, but also been trying other tools like dapptools. In the security part, I used slither and echidna.

I want to explode more my developer capacities adding all the security learnings, and I think it could be an excellent opportunity to be your mentee.
