Senior Software Engineer

I'm a software/DevOps/MLOps engineer with machine learning/computer vision background, interested in projects with scalability challenges.

I obtained my PhD in computer vision at Computer Vision Center. Since then, I've worked for both a startup, and a large corporation where I helped get computer vision models into production.
