Gabriel Bayomi is the Co-Founder at OpenLayer, a tool that tests & debugs machine learning models. OpenLayer was in the YCombinator’s batch in 2021, building tools for machine learning model testing. Previously he was a machine learning engineer at Apple working on Siri. He has a master degree in computer science from Carnegie Mellon. He is passionate about Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning, and Computational Social Science. We talked about how to test and debug machine learning models, his experience at Apple, and career lessons. If you like the show subscribe to the channel and give us a 5-star review.
