PORTFOLIO
My clients include businesses, universities, and private individuals, and I have experience developing custom AI models for a range of applications. Many of these are proprietary, but I can share some examples of open-source projects here.
These selected examples showcase three custom AI projects for wich I lead end-to-end development. Each has
individual aims, ranging from scientific research to app development.
DECODING BRAIN SIGNALS
- A multi-year project to build classifiers that recognize patterns in human brain activity that are linked to how we see the world, and how our perceptions turn into actions
- A Bayesian model estimates hidden beliefs that people hold
- The combination of these models lets us track how information flows across the brain
- The system identifies when brain activity patterns break down, accounting for mistakes in decision-making
- Methodology and conceptual findings published in a top-tier scientific journal

MAKING AUDIOBOOKS WITH GEN AI
- A free and open-source application to turn ebooks into audiobooks
- Includes a generative AI text-to-speech model capable of zero-shot prediction, and requires only 6 seconds of sample audio for reliable voice-cloning
- Uses natural language processing tools to parse ebooks
- Sample audio:
- Supports 17 different languages

DETECTING SKIN CANCER
- An application to diagnose skin lesions
- Includes three large convolutional neural networks
- Models were quantized to run on limited hardware and deployed in a web-app
- Includes functionality to interrogate the model for what features it is relying on: explainable AI
- Bias in model performance mitigated through an elaborate training procedure

PRICING
Rate and price quotes
The cost of your project will depend on the complexity of the task and the time required to complete it.
I utilize a fixed per-hour rate:
- The rate is subject to change depending on project scope.
- Rates apply to projects under 60 hours.
- For larger projects, I can provide a fixed price quote.
Send me a brief description of the project and I can make an estimate of the time required.
