Damola is a Data Engineer within the Applied AI Team at NatWest Group. He is currently involved in productionising data driven solutions within the space of Large Language Models. Over the years he has gained experience that cuts across Data warehousing and analytics within the cloud environment. He holds an MSc in Data Science and enjoys playing scrabble outside work.

Beth Barlow is a Machine Learning Engineer within the Applied AI Team at NatWest Group. She is currently focused on developing large-scale applications driven by Large Language Models (LLMs).
In particular, she designed and built the Bank’s first comprehensive framework for evaluating and monitoring LLM-based applications in production. Beth studied at the University of St Andrews where she gained a BSc (Hons) in Economics and Statistics

Geremy Bantug is a ML Engineer within the Applied AI Team at NatWest Group, with a primary focus on deep learning and deploying Large Language Models (LLMs). With an MSc in Artificial Intelligence and Applications, Geremy has spent the last couple of years developing expertise in productionisation of data-driven solutions. His current work revolves around harnessing the power of LLMs and implementing cutting edge research to deploy scalable inference endpoints for the bank.
