With over 30 years of experience in the hospitality and restaurant industry, I have cultivated a strong foundation in culinary arts and business management. Transitioning into the tech industry, I am now a self-taught NLP/ML tool builder proficient in Python and associated resources. In addition to my recent expertise, I have a background in object-oriented programming and data science, having utilized languages like Pascal/Object Pascal and later Turbo Pascal IDE, COBOL, as well as ASM machine languages to create datasets & hardware manipulation. This early experience, gained between 1984-1990, laid the groundwork for my current skill set, allowing me to bring a unique blend of traditional and cutting-edge knowledge to my projects.
