  • IAPP AI Governance Professional

    Happy to pass the IAPP AI Governance Professional exam 2 days ago. The exam became more difficult due to 2 reasons – (a) I need to climb up 8 levels to reach the testing center due to an on-going fire drill at the same time. I was wondering then if I could sit for the…

  • Advanced Certification in GenAI

    Having engaged extensively with the technical dimensions of GenAI, including participation in an LLM fine-tuning competition, the next step is to delve deeper into GenAI Governance, with a particular focus on Responsible Use and Ethical Management of GenAI. This course from SMU Academy offers valuable insights in these areas, and I highly recommend it.

  • Generative AI – Intermediate

    In this session, we will begin with a Recap of the previous session in May, summarizing key takeaways and setting the stage for the topics ahead. I will talk about the architecture of Neural Networks – how they learn from large volumes of data and delve into techniques to improve Foundation Models (FMs), upon which…

  • Generative AI Fundamentals

    This session will introduce the fundamentals of Generative AI, explaining how it differs from, as well as how it complements traditional discriminative models in machine learning. I will start by defining key concepts in generative modeling, showing how these systems learn underlying patterns in data to create new outputs such as text, images, or music.…

  • Curated Resources for learning AWS Serverless Computing

    Serverless Architecture allows you to create and run applications without the need to manage the underlying infrastructure. This enables you to develop applications with greater speed and efficiency, as well as lower costs. By eliminating the need to maintain infrastructure, developers can focus more on creating scalable, reliable products rather than spending time and energy…

  • Future of DevOps is FinOps

    DevOps has significantly changed the way companies approach developing and deploying applications. DevOps is a philosophy that combines Development (Dev) and Operations (Ops) to provide a collaborative and simpler approach to delivering software. This is very different from the traditional Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), also known as the “Waterfall” model, where development and operations are…
