What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my expertise in AI and agriculture, collaborate with innovative teams, and contribute to sustainable farming practices.

I am an accomplished Agriculture Specialist with over seven years of experience in agricultural research, taxonomy, and AI-driven innovations. I hold a Master’s degree in Agriculture from Arizona State University and possess a deep understanding of sustainable farming, crop taxonomy, and qualification test development. My expertise lies in integrating AI and machine learning into agricultural applications to optimize efficiency and productivity.

Throughout my career, I have led groundbreaking research in crop taxonomy and sustainable farming techniques at the University of Arizona. I have developed and administered qualification tests to standardize agricultural methodologies and AI-based solutions, and I have collaborated with AI specialists to create machine learning models for crop disease detection and yield prediction. My work has been recognized through influential publications on precision agriculture, and I have conducted training sessions for agricultural professionals on emerging AI technologies in farming.

Currently, as an Agricultural Consultant for the Arizona Department of Agriculture, I provide strategic guidance on agricultural policies and assist in the development of AI-powered tools for remote crop monitoring. I am passionate about advancing agricultural research and technology, and I am fully equipped for remote work, ready to take on new challenges in the evolving field of agricultural AI.
