Since then, het build many different apps, platforms and used his lab to know more about AI, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Models, Neural Networks, and things like computer vision. What worked? What didn’t? Do you always need to invest in GPUs? Can you build it cost-effective (spoiler-alert: YES!)? Do you actually need hardware or can you run it in the cloud?

Let's talk about the elephant in the room!

Some cultures talk about feelings more openly than others. But one thing is an absolute truth in any culture. Men, find more difficult to talk about how they feel than women. Despite if you are a man or a woman, you are in a leadership or entry level at work, your are a parent or single, it is estimated that 1 out of 4 people will suffer from mental health issues, being burnout, stress, depression, anxiety and the list goes on. There is a way to break this estimate, and this is by talking about these numbers and what they represent in our own lives. I invite you to come and have an open conversation about what Burnout really is and what you can do to identify it in yourself and help others around you as well.
