Yasmine Gardiner

I graduated from University of South Florida with my political science degree back in 2017 and moved to Washington, D.C. in hopes of becoming an attorney. I worked for two of the biggest prominent real estate law firms in DC and realized that maybe it's just not the career path for me. In the process of understanding where my next passion would be, I came across a job opportunity for a computer forensics company and started off there as a project analyst in March of 2019. My job consisted of taking information like images and videos and extracting them into insights so attorneys could present them in court. Because I had the background working with attorneys, the computer forensics company gave me an opportunity, and that's where I learned about data. From there on, I self-taught myself and learned how to become an analyst, learned how to code, and went to university. This now spans over 7 years of being in the data industry. I started ClearSet AI in July 2023 with just a curiosity of wanting to help business owners, professionals, and students. The business evolved into doing custom software projects and bigger AI presentations to help the community, making sure they're aware of what AI is, how to use it correctly, ethical AI, and making sure they have a better knowledge and a good resource to go to when they think of AI.
