AI Internship, Data Internship & DeFi Event
3 cool things, 1 email
Well hello there! Per usual, I’m back in your inbox with pure alpha 🤝. This edition is featuring 2 IB Community Members - the GOAT Professor Vishal Sachdev & Illini Blockchain Team Member turned DeFi visionary Jongwon Park.
AI Internship From Vishal:
Hey folks, hope you are all as stoked about LLMs as I am. - I’m looking to hire a student for personal side projects troubleshooting some existing LLMs (aka ChatGPT) among others.
Typically reusing stuff on GitHub, but need help implementing as a web app. One current project is to use https://github.com/vishalsachdev/langchain-github-bot to deploy a faq chatbot for a personal website, trained on the html documents from that website.
You’ll need skills with Python, API and some basic front end skills. Prefer low code implementations. Remote consults on zoom is fine. Typically weekends or Monday/Wednesday evenings. Probably 10 hours over two/three weeks. Email me (vishal@illinois.edu) if interested.
Blockchain x Data Internship From Vishal:
I’m also looking to hire a student or two for research projects on analytics on blockchain data using SQL on Dune / Flipside.
Email me (vishal@illinois.edu) if interested.
DeFi Event With Jongwon
Jongwon just got back from a Startup Accelerator sponsored by Jump Trading and Polygon. He’s going to share his experiences on building and plans for the project he is working on: Blockhouse Capital.
Blockhouse Capital is building an institutional DeFi exchange for trading bonds and credit derivatives. They are currently partnered with institutional asset managers, private equity firms, and real estate investment trusts to tokenize debt pipelines on-chain.
