AI Image Recognition App Development

I'm seeking a Machine Learning expert to assist in creating an image recognition app. Your role will involve not just building the app but also teaching me the intricacies of app development within the context of AI.

Key Requirements:
- Extensive experience with Machine Learning, particularly in the realm of image recognition.
- Proven track record of app development.
- Excellent teaching skills, with the patience to explain complex concepts in simple terms.
- Prior experience with AI-focused app development is a strong plus.

Please note, the specific platforms for the app have not been decided yet, so experience across iOS, Android and Web is beneficial.
