I am also a hobbyist musician and music producer.As the Co-Founder and CTO at Gratido from April 2020 to May 2021, I played a key role in designing the platform's backend architecture for user-generated content. I led DevOps using Agile methodologies, contributed to successful fundraising efforts, and developed cross-platform mobile UIs. My technical skills included Dart, JavaScript, CSS, NodeJS, and integration of Google Cloud Platform and Firebase APIs. We achieved an MVP within three months, gained a client base of over 50 users, and generated 500+ impressions through a beta-test programMy masters thesis investigated alternative uses of ML architectures for video data analysis and interpretation. I focused on the use of Transformers for video future-frame prediction in a bio-informatics context, and my team was awarded the Best Fourth Year Project award in 2023. I coordinated MLOps for research, producing quality documentation and acting as QE and team leader. I also acted as team liaison for HPC facilities and data storage requirements.
