About Me
AI and Computer Vision enthusiast. Working fast, smart and focused.
Computer Science with specialization on Data Analysis and Machine Learning Graduate
Independent and enthusiastic programmer and fresh BSc graduate with about 2 years of experience working with senior algorithm developers and academical researchers. .
My interests are a combination of software enginering and algoritm developement in any AI and Data related fields.
Particularly, I like to design and implement the data collection (considering code efficiency, embedded RT programming) as much as to process the data, find the best algorithm and improve it to achieve project goals, using classic methods of Computer Vision with Machine Learning and Deep learning methods.
Also I like to implement parallel computations using multithreading, distributed computing and GPU programming in CUDA.
I hate wasting time. I need to have long-term goals to maintain a global vision of the projects. But I divide the tasks into very simple parts to finally obtain a complex result.
My hobbies include gym, dancing (particularly Bachata) and playing chess.
