Hi, my name is Abi. I am a computer scientist and machine learning engineer working extensively in A.I. to make the software systems smarter.
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 in AutoML, MultiAgent Systems and Emotion Recognition.
✍️ I am also currently authoring LLMOps: Managing Large Language Models in Production book for O'Reilley Publications and worked on an MLOps: Deploying ML models in production course for data scientists to learn fundamentals of machine learning software systems and how to deploy machine learning models in production.
