I am Rene Turcios, a 28-year-old passionate AI and machine learning enthusiast, recognized for my role as the former CEO of VerseXR, a high-tech VR platform that innovates with AI algorithms and models. Despite not being a conventional coder, I have effectively used AI tools to write and deploy code for various purposes. My expertise is not just limited to AI; I am also proficient in managing cloud infrastructure, predominantly AWS, and have practical experience with MLOps tools like AWS Sagemaker and MLFlow. As an educator, I spend my weekends teaching about the potential of AI in coding, aiming to inspire others. My knowledge extends to machine learning frameworks such as TensorFlow and PyTorch, and I am constantly seeking to learn and implement new AI-driven solutions. My professional journey centers around advancing in AI, sharing knowledge, and contributing to a community that is as excited as I am about the possibilities of AI and machine learning.
