Inoxoft 🌍 Medusa 🐍 Calendar 🗓️
AI Harmony Book Cover

Hi, 👋 I'm Brad

I'm an MIT and Wharton trained hacker 🏴‍☠️, I love writing code and teaching people about software. Between musings on machine learning and taming tensors, I wrote "AI Harmony" (available on Amazon 📖 and Audible 🎧) to help my clients and students better understand artificial intelligence.

Software Development

I've spent my career as a contract software developer and am a lifetime member of the Association for Computing Machinery. I co-founded and am the former CTO of Inoxoft (formerly Bread Factory Studios) where I led the development of data-driven applications for clients ranging from startups to large companies 🚀. Although I'm no longer the CTO, I still work closely with the Inoxoft team.

I support the Free Software Foundation and contribute to the free and open source software community through my work at Medusa Intelligence Corporation. I also tutor graduate students in my spare time, helping them learn more about practical AI and Machine Learning techniques. Additionally, I created TranslateTribune, a fully automated foreign-language news aggregator that translates news articles in 19 languages, making it easier for people around the world to access international news.

Startups

I invest in startups via Punk Syndicate and sit on the board of NextFab Ventures.

Contact

I hold public office hours every Thursday. Book a time to get coffee ☕ have a phone call or video chat via my calendar 📆. You can also email me at 📧 brad@bradflaugher.com.

Management science is no longer scary to me. I know who I can go to to ask questions. I know I have resources." - June 5, 2023 (MIT)
  • "Deep neural network based models are the models that are powering most leading AI services today, self-driving cars, adtech and fintech models, and health outcome predictors all use the same tech stack that I was using to generate my art. I know this because I have parlayed my hobby into consulting work with big companies like Procter & Gamble, and smaller ones via my work with NextFab here in Philly." - July 19, 2022 (Technical.ly Philly)
