What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to apply my AI and software development skills in a collaborative environment, focusing on innovative projects that solve real-world problems.

I am a mechatronics engineer with hands-on experience in developing AI models, back-end systems, and software applications. My specialization in machine learning encompasses neural networks, computer vision, and natural language processing. I have honed my problem-solving skills through participation in the ICPC programming competition, which has prepared me to tackle complex challenges efficiently.

Currently, I work as a Computer Vision and IoT Systems Developer at HNNDES, where I develop real-time industrial image analysis systems using OpenCV and Python. My research in machine learning focuses on applying advanced AI techniques to real-world problems. I also have experience as a freelance back-end developer, where I utilized the Nest-JS framework to build scalable server-side applications.
