Dhruva did an amazing job for this mission. He knows how LLM works, how to setup them, update them, and deploy them using either CPU or GPU. He was a real professionnal, I would do a mission again for sure !
I had the pleasure of being taught by an exceptional programming teacher recently, and I must say that my experience was nothing short of extraordinary.
From the very first class, it was evident that Vikriti has a deep understanding of the subject and a passion for sharing
She has a unique talent for simplifying intricate ideas and making them accessible even to beginners like myself.
I would highly recommend anyone looking to learn programming to seek out this Vikritis guidance and expertises!
