He recently graduated with a B.S. in computer science from the University of Denver in 2018. Jarid is no stranger when it comes to working in a startup environment. During his time at the University of Denver he participated in Project X-ite’s Pioneering Summer, an accelerator for student-led startup ventures. During this period he honed his skills as a web developer, creating a chrome extension for his project, while being exposed to Natural Language Processing for the first time. This sparked his passion for AI and data science. At DreamFace, Jarid is learning about AI-based Natural Language Processing by writing dialog using AIML with ProgramY’s Python interpreter. He also works closely with Mohammad to continually revamp the website making sure all the content is up to date while keeping the design clean and user friendly.
