About Me

Rodd Will

Rodd Will

AI/ML Engineer

I am an AI/ML engineer dedicated to transforming complex data into actionable insights and intelligent systems. My passion lies in developing robust, interpretable, and scalable predictive and classification models that address real-world challenges, particularly within the engineering and healthcare sectors.

My journey into AI and machine learning was driven by a deep curiosity about how data-driven systems can solve complex engineering challenges. Over nearly a decade, I have gained hands-on experience across the full ML lifecycle — from data collection, cleaning, and preprocessing to model development, evaluation, and real-world deployment. I have applied these skills in domains ranging from civil engineering to health diagnostics and smart agriculture. I am proficient in Python, R, MATLAB, and tools such as scikit-learn, TensorFlow, ArcGIS, and QGIS.
