Samkelo Maswana Aspiring AI Engineer | Full-Stack Developer | Hackathon Enthusiast I'm a passionate and purpose-driven developer committed to building innovative tech solutions that create real-world impact. My journey spans across AI, web development, and mobile apps, with recent projects focusing on multilingual job agents for refugees, decentralized event planning platforms, and smart claim management systems. I thrive in collaborative, fast-paced environments like hackathons, where creativity meets execution. I’ve worked with cutting-edge technologies such as React Native, Flutter, Next.js, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, OpenAI APIs, and Azure services. My focus is not just on building software β€” it's on solving problems that matter.

    Thinq - Qubic Track

    πŸ“Š Understanding the Challenge Challenge A: Running Al Models on Qubic Nodes. Qubic nodes are not traditional compute environments like Docker or VM runners. They're designed for: - Deterministic compute (verifiable) - Time-based execution (ticks) - Cryptoeconomic security via Corol Protocol ### 2. Problem: . **Running non-deterministic Al models (like LLaMA) is**: - Heavy on resources (RAM, GPU) - Probabilistic in nature - Difficult to verify on-chain or across nodes This project is a decentralized microtasks platform where users can submit small tasks, such as summarization or classification, and have them processed by Al models like Llama 3 running on decentralized compute (Qubic nodes with Groq). Smart contracts manage task submission, escrow, and payments to node operators. Corol Protocol ensures consensus and trust in result verification.*
