What I'm looking for

I seek data-science/ML roles where I can apply ML, NLP, and recommender expertise to real-world products, collaborate cross-functionally, and grow technically in production ML and research.

I am an MSc Computer Science (Data Science) graduate with hands-on experience in machine learning, LLM fine-tuning, multi-agent reinforcement learning, and recommender systems, complemented by front-end and full-stack freelance development. I have delivered projects for multiple clients, contributed to enterprise monitoring and automation at a consultancy, and prototyped AR/VR applications using Unity and mobile integration.

I combine research-focused data science skills (PyTorch, Hugging Face, scikit-learn) with practical engineering experience in JavaScript, React, Docker basics, and observability tooling to build data-driven solutions for real-world systems. I prioritize clear, maintainable implementations and have supported large corporate customers and independent clients across the project lifecycle.
