Who is Rod Rivera?
I am passionate about helping developers and businesses engage with AI by making it practical, accessible, and actionable. I love breaking down complex AI concepts into tools and techniques that anyone can use to build real-world solutions.
With hands-on experience at global leaders like Alibaba, Huawei, Samsung, and Philip Morris, I have tackled challenges in machine learning, demand forecasting, and AI-driven product development. Now, I am focused on equipping developers and decision-makers with the skills they need to integrate cutting-edge AI into their workflows without needing prior machine learning expertise.
