Thank you for stopping by. This blog is my way of documenting my journey through the second semester of part 2 of the FastAI: Machine Learning for Coders
I’ve had a successful career as a product leader and owner at amazing companies like Microsoft, Blackberry, and Lucent. I hold a bachelor’s in Physics and a Master’s in Computer Science. Some of my more notable accomplishments were the first to launch a Garmin GPS-integrated smartphone; the 3600 Curve from Blackberry and the first to launch the 920 Lumia Windows Phone with Microsoft. I’ve had the privilege of supporting product, technical sales and business operations teams leading software and hardware launches. My interest in machine learning started from working with numpy, pandas, and SQLAlchemy as a Developer Evangelist Lead at a Geo-Spatial and Analytics company. My curiosity led me to the courses at FastAI where after a couple of false starts I joined a study group as a way to learn and interact with others who share a similar interest in machine learning. The combination of my fondness for linear algebra and diff equations, accessibility of Python as a language, and last three years working as a Developer Evangelist at a GeoSpatial and Analytics Company is what motivated me to go through the FastAI course.
