I joined QIC Digital Hub as an AI intern in June. In August the internship turned into a full-time role as an AI Specialist on the Data & AI team.

The internship

I spent the summer on the Data & AI team and closed it by presenting my internship project at the QIC AI Demo Day on 13 August, which is where the photos are from.

Since then

The full-time work has a pattern. A team does something by hand, and I turn it into a system they can run every day.

Thank you to Azizbek Abdrakhimov, Almas Aisin, Dana Sembayeva and Fadi Faisal.
