My name is Shawn Manoj Thomas, and I am an aspiring Machine Learning Engineer with over 3years of experience in the Artificial Intelligence field. Currently, I am pursuing a Master of Science inArtificial Intelligence at Drexel University, where I aim to deepen my understanding of cutting-edge AI technologies and research methodologies. As an aspiring Machine Learning Engineer, I have been developing my expertise through academic coursework, internship experience, and leadership initiatives. At Drexel University, I am taking courses such as Machine Learning which provides hands-on experience with neural networks and model development, while courses like Data Acquisition offer practical training in data preprocessing and pipeline development. I have a growing proficiency in various AI frameworks including PyTorch, TensorFlow, and scikit-learn, which I leveraged during my internship at a Qatar-based Technology firm as a Generative AI Intern. In this role, I developed chatbots and predictive systems using cutting-edge technologies like GPT-3.5 and LangChain, while gaining valuable experience in meeting business objectives and handling production environments. Additionally, I founded and led an AI club during my undergraduate studies, organizing bootcamps and research paper discussions for over 50 members. While pursuing my studies, I continue to enhance my technical skills through advanced certifications in deep learning and natural language processing on platforms like Coursera and deeplearning.ai. After graduation, I aim to join a leading technology company as a Machine Learning Engineer to work on developing scalable AI solutions in a dynamic, innovation-driven environment. Ultimately, I want to leverage this experience to become a Machine Learning Engineer, where I can lead teams in developing next-generation AI systems that solve complex challenges in an array of industries, while making sure I build AI that is safe and helpful for everyone.
