He immediately understands requirements, and is very tech savvy. … he is not afraid of doing more than asked

abquintanillaMexico · Fiverr · 1 year ago

hit him up late at night, answered right away. Told him the requirements and he started working that night. By the morning, he's done more than 40 % of the work.

  1. Researching

    My thesis: knowing when the object is not there

    Phones that help blind and low-vision users find their own objects always name something, even in an empty frame. My pilot on ORBIT-India: thresholds meant to catch 90% of appearances caught 62% at best. I’m building a conformal calibration method that tells the user “it’s not here” at a tested level of reliability, on a mid-range Android.

    The thesisSince Sep 2026
  2. Learning

    Deep Learning & Optimization

    My favourite course so far. The part that clicks is the math: how weights actually move and why a model works, not just which API to call.
