What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can improve ML model quality and data pipelines, work cross-functionally, and grow in AI/biomedical product development.

I am a biomedical engineer turned software engineer with hands-on experience evaluating and correcting AI-generated Python code, developing ML model training evaluations, and leading quality assurance for large annotation projects. I combine technical rigor in Python, MATLAB, and ML tooling with strong documentation and communication skills to translate complex problems into reliable solutions.

My background includes biomedical device prototyping, telemedicine app leadership, and internship experience in hospital equipment maintenance, where I delivered training materials and post-maintenance reporting. I have a proven track record of managing concurrent projects, improving dataset integrity, and driving cross-functional collaboration to meet research and product objectives.
