About thomas
I am an AI Engineer at IBM, working on Generative AI projects. I have over 7 years of experience as an Engineer and Data Scientist. My portfolio of projects includes Generative AI, machine learning, NLP, data analytics, and ETL projects. My industry experience is primarily in the Financial and Public/Federal Sectors. Some common use cases I’ve completed in these sectors are Predictive Loan Default, Controlled Substance Tracking, and Generative AI for Internal Audit. I have also completed projects in the Retail, Industrial, and Telecommunications Sectors. My technical skills revolve around the PyData stack. I use Python, pandas, numpy, and scikit-learn extensively, just to name a few technologies. I also use Hugging Face models for GenAI tasks and SQL/noSQL technologies when working directly with databases. My technical expertise has earned me the recognition of Expert Data Scientist from IBM. I have also published articles discussing methodologies and approaches that I’ve use to solve projects to contribute to the broader data science community. I have been a trusted mentor for 3 junior employees during my time at IBM, which includes conceptual/theoretical discussion, hands on code implementation, and soft skill training.
Key Skills
Experience
Ai Engineer
CurrentIbm
AI Engineer with a focus in using Generative AI to build custom applications. A typical project includes designing a solution architecture, using open-source tech to build out the use case, and presenting results to technical and non-technical audiences. A typical project will include Prompt Engineering of a LLM, Fine-Tuning of that model and using a vector database to embed text data for a RAG solution. Some common GenAI technologies I use are from HuggingFace, OpenAI, IBM watsonx, and models from Meta and Mistral. I also use the Pydata stack (pandas, numpy, scikit-learn) for data structure and Machine Learning tasks.
Data Scientist
