Hi Everyone, this is Utsha. Why need sleep when there's data to clean? That's the motto I go by.
Other than data, I enjoy fishing & cooking those fishes lol! 🐟

Software Developer - Ag Data Analytics, North Dakota State University
I'm checking if the cow's are warm enough in the winter with the data that's coming through our new IoT infra.

Summer Researcher - Sheila and Robert Challey Institute for Global Innovation and Growth, North Dakota State University
I evaluated large language models and wrote a paper about it to ensure you can rely on ChatGPT and other LLMs for accurate financial advice for absolutely free! 😉
Spoiler: You can trust LLMs for financial advice... with around 70% accuracy.
