SEEKING PROJECTS: Hello, my name is Thierry Damiba, and my language of choice is python.
In the past I have been a Data Scientist for DHS and SAIC. I’m a pretty junior engineer(4 years experience) interested in Semantic Search and Evaluation. Currently taking an LLM class with a professor at Stanford.
I’m also interested in classic ML and visualization. I can help throughout the pipeline from creating/scraping a dataset, to transforming the data, to creating a front end that is practical for users.
You can reach out to me here or at ptdamiba@gmail.com
I don't think they are desperate for contributions but it's a welcoming environment and a fun project to hack on. You'll learn a lot just from reading the source and the incredibly informative PRs. The creator is a really talented developer with a great blog which shows up on the HN front page often.
One of the nice things about Datasette is that it's based around plugins, which I think are a really great way to contribute to an open source project - you get to build out new functionality without even needing to wait on pull requests from the maintainer.
