I founded the Algorithmic Art meetup, growing it to over 1600 members in less than 12 months, meeting every month, reaching non-technical communities too. I'm formally qualified as a data scientist, enjoy speaking and teaching machine learning and AI, and have an Amazon #1 best seller on neural networks.
