Summary

Driven by a passion for invention and problem-solving, I have pursued a diverse range of skills in computer science and technology. Initially interested in biomedical engineering, my fascination with intelligence led me to focus on AI, machine learning, and cognitive science. To understand how learning happens firsthand, I became a teacher, but I am now eager to return to programming, particularly in the fields of ML or AI. I excel at independently acquiring new skills and thrive in collaborative environments where I can refine ideas and implement solutions. My strengths include prototyping, exploring unique approaches, and deploying applications tailored to real-world needs. I am eager to help advance your projects and deliver effective solutions.
