Hi, I’m Myles Harrison, and I’m a data scientist and entrepreneur. Currently I am the company principal at my consulting practice, PRAKTIKAI.

I also created and deliver the free and Pay-What-You-Can (PWYC) courses and workshops on AI, natural language processing, and large language models that are NLP from scratch.

Prior to this, I was the head of Data Science at BrainStation, and led a global all-star team of data scientists enabling career transformation for hundreds of students from diverse backgrounds into machine learning and data. I also worked for many years in analytics, data science, and AI in the consulting world at large firms and agencies.

I am also a passionate community builder and organize multiple Meetups in the Toronto area, including Machine Learning Toronto (MLTO), Data Practitioner Drinks and the Toronto NLG Group.

I reside in the county of Simcoe in Ontario, and enjoy spending time in the beautiful outdoors.
