What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation, encourages collaboration, and offers opportunities for professional growth.

With over 8 years of extensive experience in software development, I have honed my expertise in Python and AI/ML technologies, particularly in natural language processing (NLP). My journey has been marked by a proven track record of optimizing model performance and reducing computational costs significantly, achieving reductions of 40-60%. I am passionate about maintaining high coding standards and have a strong background in code review methodologies, ensuring that my teams consistently deliver high-quality software.

At TechCorp Inc., I architected and implemented an end-to-end NLP pipeline for content moderation, achieving an impressive 95% accuracy. My role involved developing custom transformer-based models that improved performance by 35% and implementing efficient data preprocessing pipelines that reduced processing time by 60%. I take pride in my ability to mentor junior developers and lead technical discussions, fostering a collaborative environment that encourages innovation and excellence.

My educational background includes a Master of Science in Computer Science, where I specialized in machine learning and artificial intelligence. I have contributed to notable projects, including an open-source Python library for evaluating NLP models, which has gained recognition and is used by over 20 companies. I am committed to continuous learning and professional development, as evidenced by my numerous certifications in machine learning and cloud technologies.
