What I'm looking for

I seek a full-time ML/data role where I can build and deploy production ML/NLP systems, work with cloud/MLOps teams, and continuously improve models and pipelines.

I am a Python developer and data scientist with a master's degree in Machine Learning and practical experience deploying ML models to production.

At Softplan I developed clustering (HDBScan), text classifiers with scikit-learn, and a Named Entity Recognizer using spaCy, and wrapped each model with APIs to make them available.

Currently at Intelia I maintain and optimize a platform that integrates speech-to-text transcription with large language models, enabling intelligent processing and automation across the pipeline.

I bring strong engineering practices, experience with cloud platforms and MLOps tools, and a focus on continuous improvement to deliver reliable, scalable ML solutions.
