I transform raw data into intelligent decisions through machine learning and computer vision. My projects span from autonomous drone navigation systems to optimization algorithms that find the fastest descent paths. I’m passionate about:
- 🧠 Deep Learning: Building and optimizing neural networks for real-world applications
- 👁️ Computer Vision: Teaching machines to see and understand visual data
- ⚡ Optimization: Solving complex mathematical problems with elegant algorithms
- 🔌 Full-Stack Development: From backend APIs to intuitive frontends
- 🚀 Production Systems: Deploying ML models at scale
