What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that fosters innovation and growth in machine learning.

I am a dedicated MSc student in Artificial Intelligence at the University of Amsterdam, with a strong foundation in computer science from the University of Engineering and Technology. My academic journey has been enriched by a student exchange program at the University of São Paulo, where I deepened my understanding of computer science principles.

My professional experience includes a role as a Research Intern at Gemeente Amsterdam, where I successfully trained and optimized an object detection pipeline, achieving significant performance improvements. As a Machine Learning Engineer at Artificio.org, I deployed and optimized deep learning models on AWS, reducing inference costs by 50%. My technical skills encompass proficiency in PyTorch, Python, and C++, alongside a solid understanding of self-supervised learning and computer vision.
