Top SchoolLila James is a computer scientist and software engineer with a decade of experience building education-focused AI and data solutions, blending hands-on Python engineering with expertise in LangChain, OpenAI, scikit-learn, and both SQL and NoSQL systems.

Comfortable as an educator, trainer, and subject-matter expert, she has built internal tooling and B2B proofs-of-concept at Unqork and bespoke administrative systems for schools. Based in New York, she combines research interests in LLMs, neural networks, network science and information theory with a pragmatic focus on reducing time-to-value for stakeholders.
