💼 Past Experience
I started at Pfizer in early 2016 as a Lead Research Scientist. My title at the time was Manager of Training and Development.At Pfizer, I was responsible for the entire development and training of Pfizer's machine learning products. I was responsible for developing and directing the research, development, testing and deployment of Pfizer's machine learning technologies.My work at Pfizer involved a number of different areas of research. One of my most important tasks was to build the Pfizer machine learning algorithms, which are used to improve the performance of Pfizer's products. I also developed Pfizer's deep learning algorithms.I also worked on several projects that User Trials were conducted with Pfizer's products. These projects were focused on improving the performance of Pfizer's products and trying new ways of teaching machine learning to Pfizer's customers.In my free time, I also like to play the violin and write poetry.
