Kent D.

I’m a Data Scientist and AI Engineer leading R&D at my current employer, where I design and ship generative-AI features and full ML pipelines end-to-end.  My work spans NLP, computer vision, time series, data engineering, and MLOps, and I mentor junior engineers to raise the team’s bar.  Recently, I'm developing a ChatGPT style assistant and currently work on improvements to our ETL stack, quickly turning research ideas into production value.  Earlier, as a consultant, I delivered deep-learning projects in ADAS and energy optimization and facilitated NVIDIA Deep Learning workshops, with regular talks at industry meetups.  I’m a former Toastmasters club president who’s comfortable presenting to large audiences, and I work fluently in English and Italian.  Employers choose me for a rare combo: researcher’s curiosity plus builder’s discipline, from idea to code to deployment.
