GoodBright Consulting

GoodBright Consulting is an AI and machine learning consultancy run by a single developer, Miles Thompson, who describes himself as a programmer, artist and serial founder. It takes on project work in machine learning and data science.

What GoodBright Consulting offers

• Machine learning engineering — building and training models for specific projects.
• AI and ML research — investigating approaches and turning them into working systems.
• DevOps and ML Ops — deploying models and scaling the APIs that serve them.
• Open source and community engagement — mobile app work and volunteer coordination for community projects.

Who it works with

Much of the stated work serves community and indigenous-led groups. Since 2019 the consultant has worked with an iwi organisation, Te Reo Irirangi o Te Hiku o Te Ika, heading early machine learning work on a Māori speech recognition system, and he currently supports speech and language technology for under-resourced Pacific languages.
