Last night I made my second pull request on GitHub and got my first profile badge, “Pull Shark🦈”, which is awarded when two opened pull requests have been merged with the main branch🔀🎉. While I love the new badge on my profile (thanks, GitHub bots!) I wanted to play with the design for fun (I…

The Cute Stuff Team
I successfully generated my first AI-automated newsletter from my draft Django portfolio website, using a simple (test) prompt of “Cute Stuff”. As you can see in the below screengrab, the formatting wasn’t built yet, as this was just a test of the ChatGPT API call/functionality, email generation and delivery setup. Imagine how much fun I’m…

Days of Future Past
This morning for my 3347th LinkedIn post about Lonely Octopus, I asked ChatGPT to create an image based on the text/info in it. My post read: Day 1 of Week 6 in Lonely Octopus, and we’re getting close to the end😪. This week I’m focusing on the internal AI RAG search engine group project and…

“The Client”
Lately when I’ve been vaguely referring to “the client” meeting for Lonely Octopus on LinkedIn, I’ve been cringing because 1) it sounds fake and sales-y and 2) it reminds me of a scene from cult classic, The Room, specifically one of the funniest bits of dialogue I’ve ever heard.

Lonely Octopus Company Project – RAG (Retrieval-augmented generation)

Resume/Job-Hunting Web App
Last night I submitted my third project for the Lonely Octopus program – an app designed to find correlation (and opportunity) between a user’s resume and a job listing (or desired job description).🕵♀️ It also provides a summarized comparison analysis, a “fit”/match percentage based on the comparison, and ideas for upskilling (trainings, certifications) to increase…

ANOTHER ONE!
if you read that in DJ Khaled’s voice, you got it, congrats I made my 5th Streamlit app for another Lonely Octopus project. It’s an AI merch designer which generates new merch concepts by analyzing the user’s text description of the style/content and their selection of the specific merchandise type they want it to be…

Lonely Octopus Joke
On the Lonely Octopus program Discord server, there are bot commands that we use to do things like check course info and “buy” events. Today, while perusing the commands list, I found (what I think is) an easter egg. The command was: /drinky and it had no information about it. Of course, I entered it,…
