To the HN readers who put a ring on it or are about to, what's your stance on e-invites for wedding invitations?Would you consider say designing an invite on MailChimp?If you have already done something similar, what did you love? What did you hate?

Who am I?
~1.5 years of experience as a software engineer.
I've worked across the entire stack: dockerizing frontend & backend applications, setting up AWS VMs (SSL certificates, NGINX configurations etc.), building React components & managing states with Redux, implemented and maintained Python server housing ML APIs, designed (under guidance of CTO) and implemented ML APIs for entity extraction and summarization of clinical data
I have a B.Eng in Biomedical Engineering and since graduating, I have worked: as an Analyst in one of the top cancer institutes in the world (Princess Margaret) and a Sales Engineer/R&D Engineer at a medical device startup (tool to help surgeons with hip replacement surgeries).
Currently, I'm working through the fast.ai lectures with the goal of creating a 'smart compose' for clinical notes.
P.S. I'm open to internships as well.
Who am I?
- I've been tinkering with some form of technology from an early age. My earliest memories include: -- making custom Neopets pages for myself and friends -- turning my Sony Vaio into a Hackintosh - it worked fairly well except for the WiFi module which was solved by attaching a USB WiFi adapter.
- I have prototyped gadgets with Arduinos and even built a 2-lead ECG as University project. - My capstone project was an attempt to sort a given audio clip into one of four categories; I was responsible for building the classifier in MATLAB. This project peaked my interest in Machine Learning.
- I have since worked as an Analyst in one of the top cancer institutes in the world (Princess Margaret), a Sales Engineer at a medical hardware startup. - In the last 1.5 years, I've worked as a software engineer (amongst other hats) at a healthcare startup that was focused on automating clinical workflows; of note: we attempted to generate clinical notes from patient-physician conversations. I was heavily involved in all aspects of the project from implementing the voice functionality to prototyping with large language models and conducting interviews with end-users etc.
- Currently, in my free time, I'm following the fast.ai lectures with the goal of creating a 'smart compose' for clinical notes - an idea that's stuck with me from my discussions with our end users.

It's really too bad Mendeley butchered public groups feature, it could've helped solve the "are there any more readings about this topic that I'm missing" problem. You're preaching to the choir re: latex.
If you had a choose 1 issue that really grinds your gears, which one would it be?
a side-note - Have you tried a solution like Evernote to organize your thoughts?
How often do you tend to re-run analysis code and end up fiddling with tables in Word?
Hi HackerNews community!My name is Zardar, a biomedical engineer turned software engineer and together with my buddy Ahmed - who is a seasoned biomedical researcher, we're on a mission to build a tool that will help the process of writing research papers and journals.We'd like to better understand the pain points and challenges researchers face when writing papers. We're looking to speak with...
As a skilled software engineer with experience in biomedical engineering, I bring a unique perspective and a diverse set of skills to every project I work on. With a BEng in Biomedical Engineering and expertise in JavaScript, Python, and MATLAB, I've been successful in developing complex software systems from scratch, improving user experience, and mentoring junior developers.
In my previous role at gojitech, I built and deployed RESTful web services in Python for extracting clinical entities and their attributes using the Stanford NLP Group's Stanza library, improved the user experience of voice-enabled features, and designed and built a prototype for voice navigation using React, Google's Teachable Machine, and Azure Speech-To-Text services. As a mentor, I was able to impart knowledge and skills to junior developers, helping them to grow in their roles.
Additionally, I bring experience in business application analysis, having managed and collaborated in the software development life-cycle (SDLC) of point-of-care software (eCancerCare) used within the Oncology department at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. My work involved requirements gathering, analysis, and design of project documentation such as technical specifications, business logic, and mock-ups using Microsoft Visio, among other tasks.
Overall, I am a fast learner, fully self-taught, and open to anything. I thrive working in teams, am passionate about Open-Source and documentation. As someone who is constantly improving and learning new skills, I would be a valuable addition to any project team.

A software engineer with a background in Biomedical Engineering. I've spent the past year & half working in the healthcare technology space. I've tackled a range of tasks, from implementing voice features in React applications to configuring NGINX and setting up VMs on AWS.
One of my proudest accomplishments has been developing a Python backend that can extract clinical entities from text and summarize conversations using Large Language Models like GPT-J, GPT-3 and Macaw.
With a passion for tinkering with computers and electronics, I made the decision to transition into programming during the pandemic. Since then, I've been eager to learn, take on new challenges and expand my skillset.
I'm seeking a full-time Junior Software Engineering role, where I can continue to grow as a developer and make a meaningful impact.
To all the folks that read a lot of papers as either research for writing a paper or to stay up to date in their fields.How do you go about finding and consuming papers? What are your grievances about this process?

I have been working as a software engineer in the healthcare technology space for just over 1 year.
A few tasks I've accomplished in my current role: Implemented voice features in React apps, Dockerized applications, setup VMs on AWS & configure NGINX, developed a Python backend to extract clinical entities from text and summarize conversational text using Large Language Models (GPT-J, GPT-3 & macaw).
B.Eng in Biomedical Engineering. Decided to move into programming during the pandemic. I've always tinkered with computers/electronics and have previously written software as a hobby, for school projects and my coop.
I'm looking for a full-time Junior Software Engineering role. I'm also open to internship offers. I'm eager to learn, take on challenges and expand my skillset.
