What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can leverage my skills in AI and machine learning to drive impactful projects.

I am a dedicated Machine Learning Engineer with a strong background in developing high-accuracy models and data pipelines. Currently, I work at Lappeenranta–Lahti University of Technology, where I successfully reduced experimental costs by 98.7% through innovative ML solutions. My expertise in designing custom neural network architectures has led to significant performance improvements, and I have co-authored three research publications in the field of ML-driven control systems.

In addition to my academic role, I am also an AI Engineer at Outlier, where I specialize in fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) for data visualization and analysis. My experience includes prompt engineering and ensuring data accuracy for training models. I have a proven track record of automating processes and improving efficiency, as demonstrated in my previous role as an Administrative Assistant, where I optimized financial summaries and organized extensive databases.
