What I'm looking for

I seek impactful roles applying deep learning and XAI to computer vision in interdisciplinary practical-technical teams, owning end-to-end ML pipelines and mentoring others.

I’m passionate about turning research into products that solve real problems — from video analysis systems for neonatal care to sign language recognition tools that improve accessibility. I bring experience in the full data and model development cycle — from data acquisition, curation, and preprocessing, to model training, testing, and real-world inference through pilot implementations.

I enjoy working at the intersection of AI and impact, collaborating with interdisciplinary teams, and building solutions that are not only accurate, but also transparent and trustworthy.
