Bio:

Academic and Professional Pursuits in Technology and Education

My scholarly and vocational endeavors are deeply rooted in both the academic and professional spheres.

Academic Focus: I am dedicated to advancing the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), with a particular emphasis on Generative AI and the proliferation of open-source web development methodologies.

Professional Concentration: My professional activities are centered around a suite of innovative technologies, including GeminiVertex AIChatGPTCopilotAzure DevOps, and Microsoft SharePoint Online. I am adept at developing robust applications using both Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code, and I actively engage with the Microsoft Power Platform to enhance business solutions.

Teaching Engagements:

  • Fall Semester: ISYS 475 - Open-Source Development I instruct a course that delves into the design and implementation of business applications leveraging the MEAN stack (MongoDB, Express, Angular, Node.js), with a focus on cloud-based deployment. The curriculum integrates Generative AI to enrich the Q&A experience within applications.

  • Spring Semester: ISYS 574 - AI/ML for Business Applications This course explores the practical applications of AI, with a focus on deep learning and its culmination into Generative AI. Concurrently, it covers ML techniques, emphasizing models pertinent to both supervised and unsupervised learning paradigms.
