I am a Machine Learning expert, with PhD in applied math from NC State University. I am currently working as a Research Engineer at EdgeRunner AI, using state-of-the-art techniques to extract actionable insights from data. My dissertation focused on machine learning, specifically using a variety of virtual reinforcement learning algorithms to balance a real inverted pendulum. I am looking to pursue a career where I can use my problem solving skills and enthusiasm for machine learning to tackle the challenging problems of today, and develop smarter solutions to the problems of tomorrow.What do you need to know about me?- Collaborative researcher: I have lead research teams using computer vision, natural language processing, reinforcement learning, and unsupervised learning to come up with unique solutions to cross-functional problems.- Award-winning scientific communicator: I have been Instructor of Record at three different universities, and have presented my research at local seminars and international conferences to a variety of technical and non-technical audiences.- Dedicated athlete: I represented Team Canada at the ITU Triathlon World Championships in Beijing, China, and recently ran Boston Marathon, finishing in the top 9% of competitors.- I achieved my 2nd degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do after after 6 years of training, and bring that same level of motivation to my work.Specialties: Machine learning, data science, computational modelingContact: dwgb93@gmail.com
