Bradley Silver

Co-Founder and President

Bradley is the founder/CEO of Atomic Reach, which was recently acquired by RAD AI. In 2012, he founded the content curation platform (Atomic Reach) to support enterprise marketers who struggle to keep up with the demand for fresh content. Today, Bradley serves as the President of RAD AI and is responsible for product, operations, and helping solve the company's most complex problems.

Bradley's career in AI started with deep research directed towards solving content related challenges. Over time, patterns emerged and opportunities revealed themselves in correlating natural language generation (NLG) with campaign performance data.

This passion became the vision behind RAD AI (formerly Atomic Reach) and the proprietary machine learning (ML) models that drive customer performance. Now, the vision has evolved to build the most reliable AI-powered optimization engine ever.

Bradley is passionate about his wife, children and of course… the Toronto Leafs. You can also find him obsessing about vintage shoes and sports memorabilia when the time is right. Bradley prides himself on being a fair leader and someone that takes the needs of others in consideration.

Most importantly, Bradley loves what he does here at RAD AI.

Dusan Popovic

Creative Director

What is the difference between your role at RAD and any other position you've held previously?

Well, that’s easy to say. I haven’t had this amount of luck and trust while working with people whom I’ve never actually met. It’s been a great three year stand with the company to say the least!

My background includes almost ten years of design in different industries such as marketing, gaming, television, a lot of freelance work & three start-up environments. I started in a small studio in Belgrade, Serbia, which is where I’m from…. Then, far over the ocean to RAD’s door.

What do you love most about working at RAD?

People, people and people!
Always the most important thing and I’ve never had a chance to see so many self-motivated faces whose goals are the same: ‘Get the things done!’

Even when you have a lack of motivation, just working at RAD will always gets me back on track. That’s what fuels me when I start each working day.

What is the most interesting thing you like doing on weekends?

I am an outdoor person, eager to try something new and escape a bit from daily monotony. I like to train, swim, shoot, bike, run, hike, sail, dive. Almost anything just to spend as much time as possible in nature. I love big nights out and am always in the mood for a great party.

What's next for you and RAD?

Hard to predict, the course of this company has changed many times since I first joined. There are so many situations that strengthen our team - I can only say that I’m glad to be a part of it and I’ll keep improving myself to grow with our RAD family.

Finally we have a product that is giving A+ results via our AI technology. I’ve never been so excited about where things may go!

Emilian Tita

Lead Engineer and Devops

What is the difference between your role at RAD and any other position you've held previously?

The difference between my role at RAD and other positions I’ve held are exciting new AI projects, expanding the AI Platform Generic APIs, and AI Scoring Engine.

What do you love most about working at RAD?

What I love most about working at RAD are creating new AI features, working on new technologies, and building AI & NLP models.

What is the most interesting thing you like doing on weekends?

On weekends, I like reading sci-fi books, sailing & kayaking, and fishing.

What's next for you and RAD?

What’s next for me and RAD is building the next-gen AI and content generation models.

Hassan Zia

Sr. Full Stack Developer

What is the difference between your role at RAD and any other position you've held previously?

The main difference between working at Rad and other positions I held previously is the variety of tasks and challenges I experience every day, which makes me feel more engaged and fulfilled. There is always something new to learn every day. RAD's level of workplace transparency is excellent, I'm always learning with other departments, seeing things from different perspectives, and the ability to exchange ideas and get feedback is amazing.

What do you love most about working at RAD?

I would say the cheerful and caring corporate culture is what I love most about working at RAD. It feels great to work with such a talented and inspiring group of people who always make you laugh and bring positive energy to the workplace.

What is the most interesting thing you like doing on weekends?

I like to spend my weekends leaving the crowd behind, deep in the wilderness and backcountry. You’ll find me on backcountry backpacking trails or in a canoe/kayak deep in the wilderness over the weekend. When I am in the city, I would either be playing cricket, fishing, or taking the family out to parks and beaches. Restaurants and movies are always a Plan B for me.

What's next for you and RAD?

Next for RAD and me, I would like to extend my skills to architectural design concepts and ML/AI methodology that allow me to make a significant contribution to products at RAD.

What is the difference between your role at RAD and any other position you've held previously?

In my previous positions, most of my work was specifically in software development as opposed to expressing my passion for AI based development. While I certainly enjoy my share of software development, RAD has not only offered me the opportunity to work in AI, specifically in Machine Learning, but also in one of my more favored fields: Natural Language Processing (NLP). Another interesting aspect with RAD is the potential of research offered with both the nature of my role and the nature of the data and research done by RAD.

What do you love most about working at RAD?

My favorite part about working at RAD is the talented individuals I get to work with. Learning from everyone and understanding the way of work has been very refreshing, with each one offering their unique set of skills, without any of whom the company may not be able to reach its peak functioning. This, coupled with a home based work environment offering freedom in research ideas, technology stack and implementation into the development cycle has greatly benefited my style of work in terms of both tool based and AI based expertise.

What is the most interesting thing you like doing on weekends?

I spend most weekends relaxing my mind and body, but when I do get some time to myself, I enjoy watching TV series and movies, playing video games, and many other hobbies including studying languages (both linguistic and programming), history, geography and politics. When I spend time outside, I enjoy the company of my family and friends at restaurants, parks, and other places of recreation.

Leah Ghavami

Director Client Success

What is the difference between your role at RAD and any other position you've held previously?

My role at RAD is different from my past employment experiences, because I have the opportunity to work with such a close-knit team that all has a common vision and mission. I get the chance to work holistically with the team and dip my feet in new waters that allow me to learn more about myself, the company, and our advanced technology.

What do you love most about working at RAD?

What I love most about RAD is the opportunity to surround myself with hardworking, innovative, intellectual, and genuinely warmhearted people who I can learn from and work side-by-side with. Everyone gives tremendous effort and passion through each task and is motivated to watch the company grow.

What is the most interesting thing you like doing on weekends?

On weekends, I enjoy spending the majority of my time outside, taking advantage of mid-day hikes, sunset walks, tennis matches, and strolls around the city. I try to spend as much as I can with family, friends, and loved ones, along with exploring new restaurants, streets, & shops. Weekends are also my chance to work on my art.

What's next for you and RAD?

I hope to continue building my professional marketing career through RAD and am looking forward to watching the company expand into new measures, innovations, goals, challenges, and experiments along the way.

Leah Kim

Sr. Director Client Success

What is the difference between your role at RAD and any other position you've held previously?

I graduated in 2018 with a degree in Finance & Real Estate. It’s funny because I started off as a marketing major, but because I felt that the marketing classes weren’t challenging enough, I switched over to Finance. Now being at RAD, let me tell you.. Marketing is definitely challenging!

After college, I got my Real Estate license & focused on that for about a year. Then, I started applying to jobs online like a madwoman. Knowing that my heart was still in Marketing, I kept my focus on that and eventually found RAD.

RAD is completely different from any other place I’ve worked at because I’ve never been a part of such a transparent work environment before. I bring this up because I remember the first day I started, Jeremy casually discussed how much the company was worth in our tiny little office. I would think that that information would be deemed ‘confidential’, at least in front of a new hire, but I quickly learned that nothing is off limits at RAD.

What do you love most about working at RAD?

I’ve never been in a group of such motivated, strong-minded people who band together to achieve goals, through all of the highs & lows, while also cracking jokes along the way. We’re problem solvers no matter what, while also being a strong support system for each other. Everyone’s ideas are heard, there’s no such thing as a stupid question, and improving each other is just as important as improving the company.

Also, compared to other companies, RAD is in such an early phase. Being a young woman fresh out of college, there was no better place for me to learn, absorb, and apply knowledge. Because we’re creating something new in the industry, and each of us are highly motivated to do whatever it takes to be a part of that journey, everyday is a learning experience for a RAD team member, and I love that.

What is the most interesting thing you like doing on weekends?

On the weekends, you’ll find me researching new restaurants to go to & recruiting (begging) my friends to join me. There’s nothing like trying new food in a new location, with a new vibe. When I’m not doing that, I’m binge watching my favorite reality shows with my favorite snacks in hand or just spending time with my friends & family.

What's next for you and RAD?

Being at RAD has allowed me to learn so much already, but to be honest, my goal is to just keep that going -- I want to learn as much as possible from all of my teammates, to sharpen my existing skills & learn new ones. With more experience, I’ll be a better Accounts Manager to our clients, a better leader, and a better campaign executor.

Looking further down the line, I’m excited to further perfect our current influencer product by pairing it with our AI technology. I have no doubt that we’ll solve a REAL problem that all businesses have.

Matthew Samson

ML Engineer

What's next for you and RAD?

I believe that RAD is a fast growing company in text analytics with optimized and automated text based opportunities, high profile clients, and improved functionality that are constantly being explored everyday. In terms of my role, I look forward to tapping into the potential of text based research technologies and the efficiency of the algorithms developed towards providing immediate and accurate standards of user interaction on any customized and user generated content that could start from simple text measures to highly complex text generation and direct prediction of future interaction.

Pavlo Parkhomenko

ML Engineer

What is the difference between your role at RAD and any other position you've held previously?

The main difference between my role at RAD and any other position I’ve held would be that in the past, my work mostly involved implementing already existing methods to solve given problems, and there was no room for creativity and development of something new. At RAD, I have the possibility to do research and develop something novel.

What do you love most about working at RAD?

What I love most about working at RAD is the ability to create and be valued for your ideas and vision.

What is the most interesting thing you like doing on weekends?

During the summer, I love to play golf and meet new people during games. Unfortunately, in the winter time, playing golf is not an option so I try to make room in my schedule for skiing.

What’s next for you and RAD?

I would love to further grow as both a specialist of Machine Learning and as a manager to be able to develop our technology further, better and faster.

Preet Patel

ML Developer

What led you into a career in Artificial Intelligence (AI)?

I completed my computer engineering in 2019 and then I worked for an IT company as a `Web Developer` for around 1 year. I decided to start my higher education in an AI related field and then relocated to Canada for the same. RAD AI is really exciting for me as I’ve always wanted to learn from the best and the senior developers at RAD AI have been very helpful.

Why do you love Machine Learning (ML)?

There is nothing better than to kickstart my career in `Machine Learning`as I really love the math it requires alongside logical thinking. My favorite math problem is `Permutation & Combination`. The most interesting thing about AI is, one would never be able to learn//know everything about AI. So the limits are endless.

What do you love doing in your spare time?

My absolute favorite weekend activity is to play cricket. On weekends you can find me either playing cricket or trying different food at a new restaurant. Oh yes, I’m a foodie!

Udeet Patel

ML Developer

Why do you love Artifical Intelligence (AI)?

Being involved in Machine Learning allows me to be creative with datasets as to what kind of algorithms can be used and what kind of predictive/descriptive analysis can be done. Every Machine learning engineer sees the data differently, so it is the freedom and that creativity that comes with data/algorithms really excites me.

What is your favorite math problem?

My favoritie math problem is Statistics. I have always been comfortable with numbers since childhood. Statistics makes me think like a scientist, whether it be a business, football match or gambling, statistics are everywhere. I enjoy playing with numbers.

What do you love doing on weekends?

On Saturday evening, if there is no exciting soccer match or formula 1 race, you can find me reading or doing some video / production edits.
