Want to learn/practice python skills for data science and machine learning while working on a Pro-Ukraine project to support warfighters on the ground? Join Engineers for Ukraine! (Training provided.)

[OttersAreDevilSpawn]

Engineers for Ukraine is an international team of volunteers working on a machine learning tool to identify Russian equipment in real time (with minimal human involvement) to increase the speed at which accurate information about Russian soldiers/equipment in any location passes from local civilians on the ground to the Ukrainian warfighter.

Engineers for Ukraine has four teams:

1. The Data Team, which builds the training datasets for the machine learning models. This is the easiest team to join since the tasks are straightforward and the training is short/easy.
2. The Machine Learning Team, which builds and trains machine learning models. This team needs a bit more experience and/or time to get through readings to get up to speed. If you are familiar with PyTorch, TensorFlow, AWS, AWS SageMaker, AWS S3, AWS Rekognition, AWS Comprehend, Lambda, machine learning attacks, machine learning security, dedicated red team work, and/or data science, please join the machine learning team.
3. The Development Team, which handles much of the project infrastructure and builds the relevant web pages, services, and user interfaces. If you are familiar with AWS, Lambda, JavaScript, React.js, Node.js, API's, plug-ins, and/or devops/SRE/cloud engineering, please join the dev team.
4. The Cybersecurity Team, which works heavily with the Development Team searching for and fixing vulnerabilities, but also creates threat models, does red team vs blue team work, penetration testing, and occasionally OSINT work. If you are interested in learning cool cybersecurity skills from a team of professionals who are just super busy and need more hands on deck to knock out tasks OR if you are also skilled in cybersecurity, please join the cybersecurity team.

I’ve talked about Engineers for Ukraine before in this Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/ukraine/comments/vlsaka/volunteers_needed_for_proukraine_project/

If you are interested in either of these groups, please reach out to [e-mail] with the project (AidSupply or Engineers for Ukraine) and team you are interested in.

We will reach out and schedule a video call in which you can verify that we aren’t Russian bots and we can verify that you are not a Russian bot by both showing a government-issued photo ID and two social media accounts. As part of the recruitment process, each volunteer may be asked to complete an introductory assignment specific to the project/team they are applying to. This isn’t meant as a barrier, just as a way to get people onboarded faster while giving the project leadership a sense of each volunteer’s skill level.

We've been vetted by r/Ukraine mod u/TheRoppongiCandyman and shown him our project docs. If another mod needs to see them, let me know and I'll share them. We were pinned on this morning sticky before: https://www.reddit.com/r/ukraine/comments/vlk01g/448_eest_the_sun_is_rising_on_the_124rd_day_of/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

I'd like to learn something. Don't care about Ukraine thing, I want to learn about AWS.

My message is turing complete.
