My name is Christian Mills, and I'm a deep-learning consultant who combines practical skills, technical expertise, and clear communication to help clients transform ideas into real-world solutions.


## Expertise and Experience

As an independent deep learning consultant, I specialize in:

- Building, training, and deploying deep learning models
- Developing custom automated synthetic data pipelines for computer vision applications
- Engineering semi-automated annotation pipelines for efficient data preparation
- Implementing real-time object detection and tracking systems
- Leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) for various tasks
- Advising on best practices for AI implementation and integration

## Past Projects

- Designed and implemented end-to-end synthetic data pipelines for computer vision, incorporating:
  - Smartphone video capture
  - Zero-shot object detection and segmentation
  - Automated data filtering and annotation
  - Custom data augmentation techniques
  - Synthetic training data generation
  - Automated model training and export
- Deployed real-time computer vision models on various platforms, such as:
  - Jetson Orin Nano (leveraging quantization and TensorRT for optimized performance)
  - Unity game engine
- Created workflows that use object tracking to dynamically update bounding box annotations for video frames
- Developed a custom C++ implementation of the ByteTrack object tracking algorithm, utilizing the Eigen library for efficient linear algebra operations

## Free Tutorials
I firmly believe in sharing my knowledge and expertise with the community. To that end, I publish free comprehensive, practical tutorials on deep learning topics, from foundational setup guides to advanced model integration.

## Continuous Learning and Skill Enhancement

I am committed to staying at the forefront of AI technology through continuous learning:

- Recently completed the ["Mastering LLMs: A Conference For Developers & Data Scientists"](https://maven.com/certificate/xdGjWuBW) course by Dan Becker and Hamel Husain
- Currently working through the [CUDA Mode](https://github.com/cuda-mode) lectures to enhance GPU programming skills
- Maintaining extensive, publicly available [notes](/series/notes/) from various courses and learning experiences

## Collaboration and Project Experience

- Collaborated with international teams on various projects, demonstrating ability to work effectively in diverse, distributed environments
- Served as the primary machine learning/deep learning expert for multiple client projects, showcasing ability to lead AI initiatives and provide expert guidance
