Dr. Maryleen Amaizu is a distinguished Machine Learning Engineer, AI specialist, researcher, and educator dedicated to making complex AI concepts accessible worldwide. She earned a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Leicester, where she focused on AI systems for resource-constrained environments, IoT analytics, and privacy-preserving machine learning.
As a founding Machine Learning Engineer at Redgate Software, Maryleen’s work led to the creation of a cutting-edge synthetic data generation tool that integrates machine learning with rule-based systems to produce realistic, privacy-safe test data. This tool was launched in beta at the 2024 PASS Summit, with over 40 sign-ups for the beta program. Since then, she has implemented features that make it easy for customers to set up to improve their testing efficiency, compliance, and software quality.
Among the recent talks are:
2025 SQLBits on “Evaluating the realism of synthetic data” where she was selected among 100 talks from 1200 proposals, highlighting her thought leadership in this emerging field.
2025 Redgate Summit London on “Level up your database monitoring and test data management game with AI”
2024 Women in Data Science at Beirut on “Building trust and combating misinformation with AI in crises”
2024 Norfolk Developers conference on “The future of AI”
2024 European Identity and Cloud Conference on “Control AI with prompt engineering”
Maryleen’s global impact is recognized through two Global Talent Visa awards (UK and Australia) and the prestigious Bupa Every Woman in Technology AI Champion Award 2025. Beyond industry, she has led AI training initiatives across the UK, Africa, and globally, breaking down barriers to AI literacy through education in schools, apprenticeships, skills bootcamps, and corporate programs.
She authored an AI coursebook aligned with the secondary school maths curriculum to support underrepresented students and boost university access. Developed with AccessEd, it was widely distributed across UK schools.
AI & Data Science Consulting is a professional service that helps businesses understand, design, and implement data-driven solutions using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Data Science.
Mentorship in AI and Data Science is a guided, one-on-one or group relationship where a more experienced professional (mentor) helps a less experienced person (mentee) grow in their career, skills, and confidence.n and make decisions.
It allows highly skilled individuals in areas like tech, AI, data science, cybersecurity, academia, and research to live and work in these countries without needing a traditional job offer upfront (in most cases)
a professional service that helps students, researchers, and academics plan, execute, and improve their academic work and career. Consultants offer guidance on research, publishing, applications, and career paths in academia or research-heavy industries.
Involve delivering knowledge, skills, and inspiration to specific audiences—either in person or online.
To drive digital transformation through innovative AI solutions and empower individuals to achieve global excellence.
