Mary-Brenda Akoda

Hello! I'm an AI Researcher holding a patent in the specialized field of AI for Ophthalmology. I earned a First Class Honours BSc in Computer Science (Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence) from the University of London. My journey includes valuable experience at the Microsoft Mixed Reality and AI (MRAI) Research Lab in Cambridge, where I laid the groundwork for a novel approach in AI's application to Mixed Reality. I have also worked in Microsoft's Mixed Reality and Test Base Software Engineering teams, where I built features and streamlined the development process to reduce build times and failures, and deploy products faster. I am also a Google, Palantir, and Bloomberg Scholar, and have been recognized as an Exceptional Talent by the UK Home Office through its Global Talent Visa programme. Additionally, I have had the pleasure of instructing numerous learners in Microsoft's Game of Learners upskilling program and providing guidance as a mentor to students at various universities.

I am excited to share my knowledge with you and embark on this learning adventure together!
