I've spent the past 20 years building software at industry leaders like Amazon and Oracle, but my greatest passion is working with fast-moving, early-stage startups.

Over the last 4 years, I've collaborated closely with 3 startups, helping them successfully launch products and secure key customer deals as a customer success engineer.

Recently, I've rapidly prototyped 7 MVPs in just 4 months, enabling startups to test ideas quickly and cost-effectively.

I thrive in dynamic environments where versatility, initiative, and rapid learning matter most. My expertise goes beyond coding—I specialize in engaging directly with customers, identifying their key challenges, and iterating quickly to create customer-centric products. Using the latest AI tools, I build solutions at lightning speed, keeping your startup agile and ahead of the competition.

I understand how critical it is to manage budgets carefully, so I prioritize cost-effective approaches to ensure your resources go as far as possible.

I'd love to chat about what you're building and discuss how we might collaborate to drive your startup forward. If you're looking for a dedicated, creative, and pragmatic partner, let's talk!

hobabaObama··on Phind-70B: Closing the code quality gap with GPT-4 Turbo while running 4x faster
I tested this prompt in various LLMs

1. phind was by far the best - gave me solution in just 2 steps

2. Grok was second best - it did arrive at the solution but with additional non-sense step. But the solution was correct.

3. To my surprise GPT-4 could not solve the prompt and in fact gave a wrong answer in 4 steps - "Now you should have exactly 4 liters in the 5-liter container." which is not what I asked

4. As expected Gemini pro was the worst. It asks me to pour completely filled up 3L container into 5L and then you will be left with 2L in 3L container.. LOL that does not even make sense.

LLMs also train on official documentations which is where 90% of problems get solved.

hobabaObama··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (March 2023)
Do they allow candidates from locations no mentioned in ONSITE?
hobabaObama··on Seattle could become the first city to ban caste discrimination
Casteism is something which you cannot comprehend unless you are a lower caste person yourself.

Imagine how so many things are designed for right handed person and most of us never see that issue which left-handed people face on day-to-day basis.

That is why when you have discussion on caste-discrimination, you have so many upper caste indians defending with sort of "It does not exist anymore"

Its a legit vice in Indian community and I understand most liberal indians dont practice it. But by denying its existence, you are doing a greatest disservice to the community.

hobabaObama··on Lufthansa bans AirTags in checked luggage
I remember sometime back Lufthansa had an Ad for indian audience where an old gentleman is saying to his grandson how Germans are very serious people, and he wants to avoid lufthansa.

Then he tries it anyway and is pleasantly surprised by their hospitality.

> Lufthansa isn’t exactly a customer-friendly airline,

Finally that ad makes sense to me. It was a coverup for their extremely bad customer service.

hobabaObama··on Ask HN: Are there any decent GitHub Copilot Alternatives?
Can you please help me understand "get started and pay later" for individual users?

It would be good to provide full transparency on pricing.

hobabaObama··on Google’s caste-bias problem
Caste based discrimination is so subtle, that it is extremely hard to detect by Non-Indians

Why shouldnt the talk be allowed?

What harm could it do to raise awareness about this very practical issue that Dalits face day in and day out for centuries.

Google employees who had this talks cancelled are ultimate COWARDS and should be ashamed of themselves.

hobabaObama··on Google’s caste-bias problem
May be it should be the other way around.

If they have problems to work with lower caste people, they should change their company.

hobabaObama··on Ask HN: Have you ever had a changed-your-life moment?
I was WAY behind in my study schedule and would have likely failed.

But in 2001 earthquake stuck and the exams were postponed. That extra time helped me complete my studies and I got more marks. Which helped me get into good college and have a stable career.

A tragedy actually changed my life.
