What I'm looking for

Junior Computer Vision / ML Engineer role or internship building models for real-world video. Most interested in sports tech and video analytics, where my pro handball experience adds domain insight, but open to other CV applications. I value data quality and learning from senior engineers. Remote (UTC+3), full-time or part-time, available immediately.

M.Sc. candidate building computer vision systems for handball video analysis, specializing in object detection (YOLO11) and multi-object tracking (ByteTrack). Combines an electrical engineering background with years as a professional handball player to build domain-informed AI solutions. Hands-on experience with dataset auditing, manual annotation, leakage-free evaluation and reproducible experiments on limited hardware.
