Meet the humans behind the AI: Introducing our newest grads
At EdgeRed, we work with data, analytics and AI every day – but at the heart of it, we’re a people business. Behind every model is a team of curious thinkers, problem-solvers and creators. So today, we’re excited to introduce the latest additions to that team: our 2025 graduate cohort. They come from different backgrounds, including computer science, data science, bioscience and business, but they’ve all got one thing in common: a drive to learn fast, think deeply, and build things that matter.
JULY AI: We asked a few of them: What excites you most about working in AI and analytics right now? With a little twist, we also asked them to prompt AI to create an image that represents them!
Let’s see what they came up with.
Archit – Master of Computer Science
“AI’s changing everything – and I want to be part of that transformation. I’m excited to work on projects that actually get used, not just sit in a notebook.”
With a Master of Computer Science from the University of Melbourne, Archit brings a sharp eye for patterns and a love for turning numbers into stories. He’s particularly interested in applied machine learning and the ethics of model design.
AI Prompt (ChatGPT):
“Create a live action image of me in viking clothes riding toothless dragon in open sky with beautiful background with a book titled Everyday AI in one hand reading and smiling”
Vibhore – Master of Data Science
“I love building – especially when it involves automation, optimisation, and a bit of creativity. AI is where all of that comes together.”
Vibhore, with a Master’s in Data Science, has a strong interest in machine learning, predictive modeling , and extracting meaningful insights from complex data. He is passionate about applying data-driven solutions to real-world challenges, and he’s particularly keen to explore how AI can improve how we move, transform and manage data.
AI Prompt (ChatGPT):
“Create a semi-realistic digital painting of me seated by a campfire at night, dressed like Arthur Morgan from Red Dead Redemption 2, reading a glowing book titled “AI for Outlaws: Optimizing Camp Funds with ML.” Behind are three wooden easels displaying: a pie chart labeled “Camp Expenses,” a line chart labeled “Projected Expenditure,” and a bar chart labeled “Predicted vs Actual Expenses.”
Alison – Msc Science (BioSciences)
“I’m excited by how fast everything’s moving – and how much there is to learn. Being in a team that’s experimenting with AI and using it responsibly is a big deal to me.”
Having graduated with a Master of Science (BioSciences) from the University of Melbourne, Alison enjoys diving into datasets to uncover interesting insights and patterns. Her analytical mindset and attention to detail are already making waves in early project work. She’s also utilising her creative side for things like problem solving and data visualisation.
AI Prompt (Gemini):
“Please create an image of me painting on an easel – around me there are plants, books about marine biology, ecology, and botany, a laptop with some data analysis work on it, and a grey cat. Behind me, a large window overlooking the ocean.”
Natalie – Bachelor of Business Analytics
“It’s such an exciting time to be in AI and analytics as the tools are evolving so fast, and there’s endless room to learn and try new things. I love turning messy data into something people can actually use, and right now, there’s so much potential to make that process smarter with automation and AI.”
Natalie joined EdgeRed in 2024 for our internship program and has now officially joined us as a graduate! With a background in business analytics, Natalie is passionate about making data more meaningful through automation, intuitive dashboards, and AI-driven insights. She enjoys tackling real-world problems by blending structured thinking with creativity. She actively keeps up with evolving tech stacks, exploring how modern tools, and AI innovations can be integrated to build smarter, end-to-end data solutions.
AI Prompt (ChatGPT):
“Create an image of a young businesswoman standing confidently in a modern office, smiling and presenting in front of a large screen. The screen displays dynamic dashboards, data visualisations, and AI-driven insights. Around her are subtle elements like automation icons, data pipelines, and glowing trend lines. The atmosphere is professional, innovative, and future-focused.”
Varun – Master of Computer Science
“What excites me most about AI and analytics is how much you can do with data. I’ve always enjoyed working with numbers; my background in math really pushed me in this direction. It’s a fast-moving field with tons of potential, and I’m excited to be part of it and see where it goes.”
Currently completing a Master of Computer Science at the University of Sydney, Varun enjoys digging into data to explore patterns and solve real-world problems. With a strong interest in numbers and a curiosity-driven mindset, he is drawn to the challenges and possibilities that data offers. He is especially excited to keep learning and applying new technologies in AI and analytics to make a meaningful impact.
AI Prompt (ChatGPT):
“Create an image of me in the Simpson universe analyzing price data of donuts for Homer.”
The future of data work is human-first
At EdgeRed, we believe AI is here to enhance, not replace, human capability. Our grads are a big part of how we put that into practice: asking better questions, learning faster, and bringing fresh energy to everything we do.
