IBM Client Engineering

Hello there đź‘‹

I’m an experienced technical architect and engineer in the IBM Technology, Client Engineering Team. I lead multidisciplinary engineering teams in the design and build of next generation data & AI, automation, integration and hybrid cloud technologies. I sit on the British Standards Institute (BSI) ART/1 Artificial Intelligence Committee, a mirror committee for the international ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 42 and European CEN/JTC 21 committees, contributing to the development of AI standards as a national expert. I also sit on the Ecosystems Architecture and AI Working Groups at The Open Group contributing to standards for professional practice. I have been a member of the University of London Data Science MSc academic tutor team teaching AI and Machine Learning. I am an IBM Certified Architect, IBM Certified AI Engineer, GCP Professional Cloud Architect, GCP Professional Machine Learning Engineer and certified in Data Science and Machine Learning (HarvardX). I am a Certified Information Systems Security Practitioner (CISSP, ISC2) and certified in Red Hat Openshift. I graduated with First Class honours in Computer Science and hold a Masters degree from Cambridge University. I post here mostly about architectural patterns and engineering exploits that I am able to talk about.
