About Me


I have over 4 years of experience as a software engineer, and have worked for small startups. While I have shown be a proficient full-stack developer, my expertise is in building scalable backend services.

I love building things. While hard engineering problems are often intrinsically fun to tackle, I'm most attracted to solving real customer problems with a business justification.

I am looking for a Machine Learning or Data Scientist role where I can tackle real life problems, and put into practise the theory I have seen along my academic formation.
