What I'm looking for

I’m looking for ML-focused software engineering work where I can build real-time computer vision and automation systems. I want to apply high-performance Python/C++ and GPU/parallel techniques, and keep improving model accuracy, pipelines, and production readiness.

I’m a Software Developer and MachineLearning Engineer with over 2 years of experience building and optimizing algorithms for computer vision, machine learning, and embedded systems. I focus on real-time processing and automation, with strong expertise in Python, OpenCL, TensorFlow, and CUDA—plus C++ backend development for performance-critical work.

I’ve also built and improved ML-powered solutions for tasks like geometry identification and fruit recognition, and I enjoy strengthening the full pipeline from model accuracy to system usability. I bring solid statistical analysis skills (correlation studies, PCA/kPCA) and hands-on experience with parallel computing and GPU acceleration, and I’m passionate about innovation, problem-solving, and high-performance applications.
