## What I'm looking for

```text
I'm looking for fixed-term, contract, or project-based assignments where I can contribute as an independent individual contributor, take technical ownership, experiment practically, and deliver production-ready machine learning solutions.
```

## About

```text
At SmarTech (a Hexion Company), I deliver AI/ML solutions across the full lifecycle, from problem framing and data preparation through deployment and monitoring. I implemented automated MLOps workflows and built a dashboard for model evaluation, champion-model comparisons, and production rollout decisions.

I developed a real-time production-line simulation model with R² > 0.75, approximately doubling performance versus the prior solution. I also created ultrasonic image-based sensor defect detection and repair algorithms, and defined annotation guidelines and quality checks for 100K+ labeled samples.

At Johnson & Johnson MedTech, I developed deep learning models for arrhythmia classification using body-surface and intracardiac ECG, achieving F1 > 0.85. My other work includes motion-classification research at Bar-Ilan University and a master's thesis on machine learning for adaptive fall risk assessments in older adults.
