Hi everyone! I'm Akash Kolte, MS CS (AI/ML) at University at Buffalo (B.Tech, IIT Hyderabad), 4.0 GPA, 4+ years Java/Spring Boot engineering. I've been exploring Metaflow and I'm applying for the Jupyter-Native Metaflow project. I've installed Metaflow locally, run the tutorials, and studied

nbrun.py

,

flowgraph.py

, and

decorators.py

. My relevant background: I've built multiple ML projects in Jupyter (LangGraph agents, RAG systems, BART fine-tuning) and hit the single-cell constraint repeatedly. Submitting my proposal today — happy to discuss technical approach or get feedback. GitHub: github.com/akashkolte. Tagging @hundreds-rainbow-67050 for the Jupyter-Native project
