Biography

Brad is an accomplished machine learning practitioner with a focus on natural language processing and its applications. During his work at Sensibill, SwiftlyAI, Electric Brain, Brad has created a wide-variety of solutions based on data-science and machine learning. He has created algorithms to match resumes to job descriptions, to predict when investors will leave their financial advisor’s, and to decide appropriate responses for chat-bots. He has created algorithms to extract data from receipts, emails, spreadsheets, invoices, financial statements, leases and many other types of documents. With his breadth of experience, Brad brings practical, hands-on tips and advice on how to succeed in applying machine learning to new datasets and problems.
