Intro

Hey! I'm Kevin. I graduated at the top of my class with an MSc in Data Science and Analytics @ Royal Holloway, University of London, and have 2 years of prior experience as a Product Engineer and as an intern Machine Learning Engineer. Skilled at Deep Learning and Visualisation using Python and R and MLOps. I have a keen interest in Language Models, Retrieval Augmented Generation, and Autonomous Agents. I work well in interdisciplinary tech teams and follow sustainable programming practices.

Work

Find an up-to-date copy of my CV here! I have two years of prior experience as a Product Engineer at Sprinklr, where I worked with a tech stack of React.js, Redux, and GraphQL among other tech. Most of my work there was proprietary, so it isn't hosted in an open source repo where it can be accessed.

Those two years of work were followed by a masters in Data Science and Analytics from Royal Holloway, University of London. Much of the work that I did there, including my final project on Abstractive Summarisation (and more) can be found on my GitHub. If you want to check out my thesis, you can find a copy of it here.

My last role was as an intern Machine Learning Engineer at Flagright (YC22), where I helped set up v1.0 of their MLOps pipeline for their AML and fraud detection system. This includes CI/CD, models, monitoring, etc.

Some other recent projects that I've enjoyed working on are:

• Automatic Speech Recognition
• Autonomous Agent using LangChain
• Instructioning-tuning Llama2 7B with Alpaca-like dataset generated with GPT4
• Unbalanced classification
• OpenMarx - chat with the spectre of Karl Marx

About

I love data and fiddling with it! I mostly put my projects on my Github, but also code occasionally on Kaggle, CodeSignal, and LeetCode

In my free time, I love listening to kpop, watching cats on the internet, and reading political economic theory. I play music and sing as well, and I quiz sometimes (always up for a pub quiz!).

You can find more about my work life from my LinkedIn, or check out my projects on my GitHub.

I'm also a certified AWS Solutions Architect Associate and a certified Azure Data Scientist Associate!
