About — in the speaker's own words

I am a Machine Learning Engineer with 4 years of Python and PyTorch development experience. I've provided ML expertise to startups and the UK government, and I'm particularly interested in beneficial AI applications. My background is in Physics and Atmospheric Physics, where I interpreted large tropical cyclone datasets at Imperial College London.

My previous talks are: EuroPython Prague 2022 - 🐍 Large Language Model Zen PyCon/PyData DE Berlin 2023 - Mojo 🔥 - Is it Python's faster cousin or just hype?

Completing my language trilogy: I recently began exploring Rust 🦀.
