My name is Stephen Haskins and I've just finished my Masters in Computer Engineering at Trinity College Dublin. I'm really excited to discover how AI can optimise and even completely overhaul existing SWE workflows. I'm passionate about reinforcement learning and machine learning, with experience applying these techniques to complex engineering challenges.
