As a machine learning engineer with a focus on transformers, functional programming, and crafting AI solutions for REAL business objectives, I am passionate about using cutting-edge technology to drive innovation and create value. With a background in mobile development with React Native, Swift, and Kotlin, I have recently shifted my entire career focus to machine learning and have been blown away by its potential to transform industries and enhance user experiences.At 27, after several years of hard work, I had a cash exit for my company and mobile app, Outfix. A large component of the success of the company was due to its computer vision/AI-based suggestion engine. Since then, I have been convinced of the power of machine learning to take products to the next level and drive growth. I bring a unique blend of entrepreneurial and technical expertise to my work and am always looking for new challenges and opportunities to apply my skills.I am proficient in Python, including PyTorch, Jupyter, Scikit-learn, Numba, and NumPy. I have a solid background in calculus and linear algebra, which has enabled me to build complex models and grasp concepts in breakthrough papers. I have always loved the utility of the open-source community, and have around ~40 noteworthy public projects. My technical abilities are complemented by strong communication and collaboration skills, which allow me to work effectively with cross-functional teams and stakeholders. Role-wise, I have worn a variety of hats ranging from independent contributor to engineering manager with a team of 6. I should also mention, I put a heavy emphasis on ethics - especially considering the nature of the field.Whether working on a complex ML model or collaborating on a new product feature, I approach each challenge with a growth mindset and a commitment to delivering exceptional results. I am excited about the future of machine learning and its potential to drive innovation across industries. If you're looking for a skilled machine learning engineer with a track record of success, I would love to connect and explore how I can help take your organization to the next level.
