AI for Everyone! is an initiave to introduce more people to the amazing world of Artificial Intelligence through talks and hands-on activities.

I’ve had the pleasure to present my talks and workshops to not only undergraduate/graduate students but also to staff/faculty from several Colleges and Universities in Orange County. Look to the right to find more information about my current talks and workshops, as well as a list of my past speaking events.

Feel free to reach out to me via email or LinkedIn with inquieres about booking me for your next event.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are two very hot buzzwords right now, but there’s still some confussion between the two. This talk does not only explain the difference between Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning but dives a little deeper into Machine Learning and some of it’s practical applications. Absolutely no experience required!

Artificial Neural Networks are used in a wide viarity of applications but too few people actually understand how they work. This talk demistyfies Artifical Neural Networks by exploring the foundational theory and tinkering with a Neural Network visualization tool. Some type of exposure to Machine Learning is recommended for this talk.

This workshop will introduce you to the basics of TensorFlow and get you thinking about how to use it to implement different Machine Learning models. Some programming experience (preferably Python) and exposure to Machine Learning is required. Attendees will need to bring their laptops to follow along.

This workshop will get you started building a TensorFlow implementation of an Artificial Neural Network from scratch (well, almost…). Some TensorFlow experience and exposure to Artificial Neural Networks is required. Attendees will need to bring their laptops to follow along.
