Part-time work available for people interested in ML products
A message from Oxford graduate Kyle Duffy:
I’m a recent Oxford grad (graduated 2022) and I do some part-time contract work for clients that are building applications with machine learning components. I’m looking to expand my operations by bringing on more people who are interested in working as part-time contractors. The positions are paid by the hour, and are a great way to get professional experience (and some extra money) as a student. I put together this google form<https://forms.gle/KPWLzqXBxSCPgSxs9> for anyone to fill out if they’re interested.
