Fix Critical AWS Website Bugs

My site is already hosted on AWS, feature-complete on paper, yet five key components refuse to work and our go-live is now less than two weeks away. Every failure is consistent and repeatable, so I’m looking for someone who can dive straight into production-level debugging and close these gaps fast. The components that must be repaired: • Email verification (custom-built) • Dialer system (Twilio) • Booking system (custom-built) • Payment system (Stripe) • Live functionality / real-time chat All code will stay where it is—nothing leaves AWS—so you’ll need solid AWS console familiarity alongside everyday full-stack skills. I can provide repository access, architecture notes, and direct contact with the previous developer if needed. Acceptance is simple: each item above must perform reliably under normal user load, pass my own end-to-end test scripts, and remain stable for 48 hours in staging before we flip the live switch. If any hotfixes are required after launch, I expect a prompt turnaround. Please outline your approach, relevant AWS + Twilio + Stripe experience, and confirm you can commit to the 14-day window.

Which email marketing platforms you've used and which you would recommend for our business. A brief overview of how you would approach building our email marketing strategy from scratch.

KeyShot Specialist – Plastic Material & Lighting Setup Expert

PROJECT DESCRIPTION We are an established sports equipment brand looking for a KeyShot expert to help us move a set of product renders from a flat, CAD-preview look to true photographic realism, suitable for front-of-pack hero imagery. This is not a standard production render job. We are specifically looking for someone who can develop and dial in the right material, texture, and lighting settings on one or two sample models, then hand over the complete settings package so our existing rendering supplier can apply the same look across our full product range in their own copy of KeyShot. The product is a small, moulded plastic item with subtle translucency. Getting that material quality right is the crux of the brief. We should also mention that our full product range is already set up and organised within KeyShot. Ideally, whatever material presets and lighting rig are developed through this engagement could be applied across that existing setup without having to rebuild or re-import each product individually. If you have experience structuring KeyShot material libraries and scene rigs in a way that makes them portable and easy to apply at scale, please mention this in your response. We will share full project details, reference images, and the CAD model (STEP format) with the shortlisted candidate under a mutual NDA before work begins. WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU BEFORE WE SHORTLIST Rather than a standard cover letter, please answer the following five questions. Your answers will carry more weight than your portfolio in our decision. Honest, specific answers are far more useful to us than vague ones. 1. Which version of KeyShot do you work in, and how long have you been using it professionally? 2. When rendering a soft, slightly translucent plastic (such as a sports mouthguard, silicone grip, or similar), which material type or shader do you use in KeyShot, and what are the two or three settings you pay most attention to in order to get that quality right? 3. How do you approach lighting a small plastic product for a front-of-pack hero shot? Describe your typical setup, including how you use (or choose not to use) an HDRI environment. 4. Once a look is approved, how would you package your settings so that another KeyShot user on a different machine could replicate the result? What files would you provide, and how would you structure those settings so they could be applied across a pre-existing library of models in KeyShot, rather than being tied to a single scene file? 5. Please share one or two examples of previous work involving plastic, rubber, or similarly translucent materials. Links are fine. BUDGET AND TIMELINE Fixed price preferred. To be agreed once we have shortlisted. This is a focused, bounded piece of work rather than an ongoing contract.

Machine Learning Research Proposal Specialist

Overview We are looking for a Machine Learning Research Proposal Specialist to create a polished, professional research-style write-up for an ML evaluation task. The submission should propose a machine learning problem within the writer’s domain of expertise and must be directly related to machine learning. The final deliverable should be written in markdown format, follow the provided template exactly, and be no longer than 1–2 pages with a maximum of 8 paragraphs. Project Goal The goal of this project is to design a machine learning benchmark or problem that is complex enough to challenge a strong state-of-the-art LLM. The problem should not be a simple generic ML pipeline task. It should require deep domain expertise, advanced reasoning, and layered technical understanding that would be difficult for a general-purpose model to solve without specialized knowledge. Responsibilities The selected specialist will write a complete research proposal-style submission using the required sections: Domain and Motivation, Task Design, Data and Data Generation, Sources of Difficulty, Reference Solution and Scoring, and Citations. Each section should be concise, polished, and limited to one paragraph. The proposal should clearly explain the ML domain, why the task is meaningful, what is being predicted, how the data would be generated or adapted, why the task requires extrapolation, and why naive approaches would fail. Ideal Candidate The ideal candidate has strong experience in machine learning, applied AI, data science, or ML research, with expertise in at least one technical or scientific domain such as healthcare, finance, robotics, cybersecurity, biology, materials science, geospatial analysis, NLP, computer vision, or another complex field. They should be able to design a creative ML task that rewards real domain knowledge rather than basic textbook ML skills. Required Skills Strong understanding of machine learning problem formulation, benchmark design, data generation strategies, train/test split methodology, model evaluation, and scoring metrics is required. The candidate should also be comfortable explaining why a task is difficult, what domain-specific insights are needed, and how an expert would approach solving the problem. Clear technical writing and the ability to produce concise markdown-formatted documentation are essential. Deliverable The final deliverable will be a markdown-formatted research proposal following the provided template. It should be professional, concise, and no more than 8 paragraphs total. The proposal must involve machine learning directly and should include citations where applicable, such as relevant research papers, datasets, GitHub repositories, or other credible references that support the proposed task. Important Notes This is a machine learning evaluation project, so proposals that are not directly related to ML will not be accepted. The model output should be ignored during the evaluation process, and once the prompt has been entered and the model generates a response, the evaluator should select “Done Chatting.”
