Bradley Silver
Bradley is the founder/CEO of Atomic Reach, which was recently acquired by RAD Intel. 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 Intel 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.

Hassan Zia
What is the difference between your role at RAD Intel 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 Intel'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 have always been a Plan B for me.
What's next for you and RAD Intel?
Next for RAD Intel 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 Intel 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 Intel 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 of 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 Intel.
What do you love most about working at RAD Intel?
My favorite part about working at RAD Intel 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.

What's next for you and RAD Intel?
What’s next for me and RAD Intel is building the next-gen AI and content generation models.
Dusan Popovic
What is the difference between your role at RAD Intel 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 Intel?
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 Intel will always get 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 Intel?
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 Intel 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!

Pavlo Parkhomenko
What is the difference between your role at RAD Intel and any other position you've held previously?
The main difference between my role at RAD Intel 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 Intel, I have the possibility to do research and develop something novel.
What do you love most about working at RAD Intel?
What I love most about working at RAD Intel 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 wintertime, playing golf is not an option so I try to make room in my schedule for skiing.
What’s next for you and RAD Intel?
I would love to further grow as both a specialist in Machine Learning and as a manager to be able to develop our technology further, better, and faster.
Preet Patel
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 Intel is really exciting for me as I’ve always wanted to learn from the best and the senior developers at RAD Intel 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, that 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?
During the summer, I love to play golf and meet new people during games. Unfortunately, in the wintertime, playing golf is not an option so I try to make room in my schedule for skiing.
Udeet Patel
Why do you love Artificial 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 creativity that comes with data/algorithms that excites me.
What is your favorite math problem?
My favorite 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
