Skills
My academic and professional journey has given me a strong technical foundation, with a focus on machine learning and computer vision. I work daily with Python, PyTorch, and modern deep learning frameworks, particularly for the development of object detection and segmentation models (e.g., YOLO, SAM). My work also includes data preprocessing and augmentation techniques. In addition to my ML expertise, I am familiar with languages such as C, C++, Java, JavaScript, SQL, MATLAB, HTML, and CSS, and have experience building both apps and web applications. I have a background in scientific writing, basic electronics, and laboratory techniques like XPS, GIFT, and SEM, along with basic skills in 3D modeling and animation with Blender. I am committed to continuous learning and thrive in collaborative, solution-focused environments where effective communication and adaptability are essential.
