Hi, my name is Abi. I am a computer scientist and machine learning engineer working extensively in A.I. to help integrate personalized machine learning systems in our day-to-day lives. As a part of that bigger goal, I founded Abide A.I. to help solve some of these challenges for enterprises and teams.

Over the past seven years, my focus has been building production-level machine learning systems for various applications including recommender systems, automated data labelling pipelines for both audio and video, audio-speech synthesis, forecasting and time-series analysis etc.

In the past, I attended Insight as a Data Science Fellow and was a Visiting Research Scholar at UCLA under Dr. Judea Pearl where I worked on Intelligent Agents focusing specifically on AutoML, MultiAgent Systems and Emotion Recognition.

Books & Courses¶

✍️ I am also currently authoring LLMOps: Managing Large Language Models in Production book for O'Reilley Publications. The best way to stay updated on the progress is either through my public talks or the newsletter.

More - Coming Soon!
