How It Started

In 2019, I took a deep dive into data science and artificial intelligence (AI) to future-proof my career. As I applied my growing tech expertise across sales, education, public sector roles, and healthcare and life sciences, I leveraged AI, automation, and data-driven solutions to tackle business challenges through structured self-learning and real-world application.

As my experiences grew, I recognized a critical gap: businesses needed AI solutions but lacked the expertise to implement them effectively.

When I earned the necessary experience, expertise, and certifications, I took the plunge to become an independent Full-stack AI Consultant under the Hermit Edge brand—aiming to bridge that gap and help businesses harness an AI-driven future.

Where I Am Today

With 9 years of cross-industry experience—including over 5 years specializing in AI, data science, and full-stack software development—I build and deploy AI-driven solutions that empower businesses to scale efficiently. My expertise spans end-to-end AI consulting, custom AI model development, and the creation of scalable applications and agentic systems, ensuring businesses leverage AI as a strategic advantage in real-world applications.
