What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and growth, where I can apply my skills in software engineering and machine learning to solve real-world problems.

I am a dedicated software engineer with a passion for machine learning and data analysis. My experience includes a successful internship at Maltron International, where I collaborated with senior engineers to enhance Java software components and developed a machine learning model that predicted brain stroke occurrences with remarkable accuracy. My commitment to continuous learning is evident through over 150 hours of targeted training in industry-standard software tools, which contributed to significant improvements in project turnaround times.

As a tutor at Fluent Tutors, I managed training sessions for inexperienced tutors, leading to a notable increase in student performance. I developed personalized tutoring sessions for over 15 students, achieving a 100% satisfaction rate from parents. My ability to leverage interactive presentations not only enhanced student engagement but also improved their work ethic significantly. I am eager to bring my skills in software development and machine learning to a dynamic team where I can contribute to innovative projects.
