Domains of Expertise

I combine deep technical knowledge with practical application to innovate in high-growth, regulated industries. Below are my core domains of expertise and how I’ve applied them in real-world projects.

Machine Learning (ML)

I apply deep knowledge of ML algorithms to build predictive models and computer vision systems that solve real-world challenges, from optimizing logistics to interpreting complex data.

Real-World Applications:

  • Optimized delivery routes for HempDash with predictive algorithms, improving efficiency by 15%.
  • Built an American Sign Language recognizer using OpenCV and deep learning, achieving 95% accuracy.
  • Developed a stock price predictor using time-series analysis for my Udacity AI Nanodegree.
AI Voice Assistants

I create engaging, intelligent voice experiences using conversational AI and Natural Language Processing (NLP). As co-founder of Lailia AI, I built a virtual assistant powered by ChatGPT and have extensive experience with the Amazon Alexa Skills Kit.

Real-World Applications:

  • Co-founded and led the technical development of Lailia AI, a ChatGPT-powered voice platform.
  • Built a popular Alexa skill that provides historical AI facts on demand.
  • Prototyped personalized text-to-speech (TTS) systems for enhanced user interaction.
Delivery Tech & Logistics

I specialize in designing and building the technology for on-demand delivery platforms. At HempDash, I architected the entire system, including route optimization, a driver dispatch app, live tracking, and a robust backend infrastructure on AWS.

Real-World Applications:

  • Designed the full tech stack for HempDash, a real-time logistics platform handling thousands of orders.
  • Authored the 'Building Scalable Delivery Systems' whitepaper, detailing our microservices architecture.
  • Implemented a driver dispatch system that reduced wait times by 30%.
Regulatory Compliance (AI & Cannabis)

I am skilled in navigating the complex regulatory environments of both AI and the hemp/cannabis industry. I build technology-driven compliance checks to ensure safety, privacy, and adherence to legal standards.

Real-World Applications:

  • Integrated automated ID verification and compliance checks into the HempDash platform, ensuring 100% compliance.
  • Frequently write and speak about applying ethical AI in regulated industries.
  • Designed systems with data privacy (GDPR) principles at their core.
