G X M (Ghost Ex Machina) is the Artificial Intelligence and Data Science concern of Thorton “Thor” Maldonado. He created it to empower companies to find all the insights and revenue streams that they are missing out on in the dark data of a simple Excel sheet or a complex proprietary system. He is proud to be a trailblazer in this emerging niche of data science, machine learning and artificial intelligence.
Thor likes long walks on the beach, candlelit dinners with exotic cuisines and bleeding edge algorithms in artificial intelligence and machine learning. Several projects of his have delved deep into what a data science model can do. Those included in his portfolio are Black Box Variational Inference Engines, Deep Bayesian Neural Networks, Glowworm Swarm Optimization Algorithm, Isolation Forests for Anomaly Detection, Price of Anarchy Algorithm to name a few. He is also an earlier adopter of prompt engineering, and LLMs/ NLPs like ChatGPT, to embolden pre-programming and streamline debugging.
Thor writes in Python, Ruby and Java, but thinks in Prolog. He believes most errors and exceptions occur at a conceptual level, so he still continues to put old school techniques and new school trends into his toolbox. This is to always vouchsafe that stakeholders are provided with multi-purpose, real-world solutions to business analytics problems. Thor has both coded and taught code in several programming languages for both front-end and back-end development. He also knows specialty languages such as COBOL.
What is unique about Thor is his vast domain knowledge in several fields such as finance/ real estate, education, neuroscience and literature/ lingusitics. He has had forays in the former when he worked in a mergers and acquisitions firm dedicated to distressed properties. The latter is based on over two decades of experience as a teacher, curriculum developer, instructional designer, as well as, an educational director of a specialized testing/ computer coding center. He also has extensive expertise in sales and marketing. That and he can do full-stack devs.

When not trying to beat the market with his latest algorithm, Thor still teaches chess and writes novels, plays and poems. You can also visit: www.thortonmaldonado.com
