What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can apply my machine learning expertise to solve complex problems and contribute to impactful projects.

I am a dedicated Machine Learning Engineer with a strong background in artificial intelligence and software architecture. My journey began with a Master's in Computer Science and AI from the University of Missouri-St. Louis, where I honed my skills in machine learning and data analysis. I have successfully contributed to various projects, including reducing Word Error Rate in automatic speech recognition by 20-30% and improving background noise reduction in real-world audio recordings.

Throughout my career, I have worked with leading organizations like Fusemachines and FeatherWebs, where I developed robust machine learning pipelines and innovative solutions such as a RASA-based chatbot and an applicant tracking system. My experience also includes implementing face recognition technologies and architecting scalable web applications that significantly increased revenue for my previous employer. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to create impactful solutions that drive efficiency and enhance user experiences.
