I'm a Research Scientist at Texas A&M AgriLife. My expertise and research interests lie in applying Geophysics tools like Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR), mathematical and electromagnetism simulations, signal processing, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning. My current research is focused on designing, developing, and implementing end-to-end software solutions and computational algorithms to analyze remote sensing datasets to tackle agricultural challenges ( using state-of-the-art data science, signal processing, and machine learning methods).
Beyond my job, I am an open-source advocate deeply committed to community engagement and knowledge sharing. Leveraging on Google's recognition as a "Google Developer Expert" in Machine Learning and a "Google Cloud Champion," I do my best to actively contribute to the community by creating and publishing content around Machine Learning, TensorFlow, and related Google Cloud Platform(GCP) services, such as Vertex AI, speaking at developer conferences and meetups, and mentoring students and startups seeking guidance in the space of Machine Learning.

Tensorflow Everywhere ( Workshop )

Model deployment is perhaps the most important step in the ML cycle. We have spent a lot of time and effort playing around with different algorithms, training, and tuning our model parameters, so after evaluating its performance and obtaining that long-awaited score, it is time to release it and show our model to the world. It sounds like graduation time!!, right?. However, the statistics show that 60% of the models never make it out into production, mainly because moving the model into a production environment is not simple and requires extra skills.

In this workshop, we will explore different deployment scenarios to release our ML models and learn how easy it is to move them to production using GCP(Google Cloud Platform).

End-to-End computer vision projects

In this talk, I'll cover how was the development process of Tumaini, a mobile application that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to detect pests and diseases affecting banana. I'll be discussing the architecture of the app, how the dataset was created, and the deployment in the device. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13007-019-0475-z

Modern Deep Learning Workshop: From transformers to LLMs

This beginner-friendly workshop provides an introduction to the fundamentals of generative AI, including topics such as Transformers, GANs (Generative Adversarial Networks), Diffusion Models, Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback, and Large Language Model (for short LLMs).
Hands-on demos and guided tutorials will allow you to get on top of these #hottopics in tech, allowing you to leverage your (tech) career. Familiarity with Python knowledge is recommended but not mandatory.

Let's embark on the Deep Learning journey together!

Automating your ML pipelines using Kubeflow and Vertex AI

This section introduces how to automate ML pipelines in production using Kubeflow and Vertex AI.

Multimodality with Gemini: Unleashing the Power of Text, Videos, Images and more

Gemini is the most capable and general model Google has ever built. It was built from the ground up to be multimodal, which means it can generalize and seamlessly understand, operate across, and combine different types of information, including text, code, images, and video. This talk dives into the exciting world of Gemini, a cutting-edge foundation model developed by Google. Discover how Gemini seamlessly integrates text and image processing, enabling you to:

- Analyze and understand the content of images, videos, and audio files
- Perform cross-modal tasks like image captioning and visual question-answering
- Explore the potential of multimodality for various applications, from creative content generation to advanced information retrieval. Join us to unlock the power of Gemini and push the boundaries of AI!
