5 years of experience in training and deploying ML models at scale, Masters in Data Science at Uppsala University, Sweden
What I'm looking for
I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Data Science at Uppsala University, with a specialization in machine learning and statistics. I bring with me 4 years of industry experience as a machine learning researcher, where I worked extensively on tasks in computer vision and natural language processing, including classification, detection, tracking, and named entity recognition (NER).
Throughout my professional journey, I have developed robust practical skills in designing and implementing end-to-end deep learning systems, leveraging architectures such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Transformers. My expertise includes hands-on experience with Python, OpenCV, PyTorch, and Linux, which I use to build scalable solutions.
