IntermediateWho am I?
A little more about me- I'm a Machine Learning Engineer based in Toronto, Canada. Over the years, I've had the opportunity to work across a range of industries, building AI solutions and products that empower both businesses and customers.
- I'm passionate about creating and learning. I love bringing ideas to life through the products I build, and as a lifelong learner, I'm always expanding my skills — whether that's by diving into the latest technologies or building personal projects.
- My goal has always been to use AI to make a positive impact and help improve the world. One principle I live by is simplicity: I believe the best solutions are the ones that are streamlined, reliable, and free of unnecessary complexity.
- When I'm not working, I enjoy stepping away from the screen and getting outdoors. You'll often find me biking, hiking, or playing tennis. I also have a strong appetite for adventure and love traveling to explore new places and cultures.
