Hi folks, I am a self-taught computer programmer, software engineer, computer vision and deep learning researcher. From my programming learning journey that started in 2012, I have always believed in empowering developers and been working on creating developer tools that will make use of modern digital technology easy to integrate. I am an ex @Microsoft and @Babylonhealth software engineer that have worked directly with AI models at scale and researched next generation algorithms and methods for computer vision and AI.

I embraced open source and deep learning in 2018 and created ImageAI, a Python library that empowers python programmers with all levels of expertise to easy integrate state-of-the-art computer vision features, train/deploy custom image/video AI models to detect and recognize custom objects. The library has been installed over 400,000 times and has 7000+ starts. Since 2018, I have released more open source projects for AI inference and solving AI data problems with plans to build and release more to facilitate AI democratization and access. Some of the projects are IdenProf, FireNET, ActionNET, DeepStack_ExDark and TrafficNET

I strongly recognize the impact of developers in the digital realm of today and and believe one of the most powerful way to change the world is empower developers in any location in the world and of any age and experience to utilize technology to solve problems in their homes, community, at work and facilitate their dream to build. Most of my focus is on building easy to integrate and use tools that makes state-of-the-art AI affordable, preserves user data privacy, addresses challenges with lack of data to train accurate models and integrate well with other digital systems.

All the projects I build and maintain cost me personal time and finance and the limitation of my resources and personal commitments slows down the development process. I spent about £3000 within June 2021 and December 2022 to keep ImageAI up to date with new features and will love to build more projects like it, especially for solving data limitation and generative models.

Kindly sponsor my profile to help me in my journey to continue building and maintaining open source projects that empowers the global community of developers to utilize start-of-the-art AI.

Thank you 💖
