I'm a machine learning developer and founder with a background in mathematics, physics, and systems engineering. I'm passionate about building intelligent systems that solve real-world problems.
Currently, I'm leading Planned Pixel in its pivot from a web design studio to an AI-driven product company. My primary focus is on developing a multi-modal AI system at the intersection of computer vision and sentiment analysis. Our goal is to provide powerful marketing insights for small and medium-sized businesses, leveraging cutting-edge models to understand audience engagement in ways that were previously only accessible to large enterprises.
I document my technical journey, explore ML concepts, and share my thoughts on technology and society on my blog: blog.plannedpixel.com.
My main focus is on building and deploying end-to-end machine learning solutions.
- Deep Learning & Computer Vision: Building and fine-tuning models for tasks like image classification, object detection, and saliency mapping.
- Multi-Modal Systems: Integrating vision and language models (NLP) to generate comprehensive insights from complex data.
- Data Science: End-to-end experience with data preprocessing, feature engineering, model training, validation, and visualization.
- MLOps: Experience in creating pipelines for deploying, monitoring, and maintaining models in production environments.
My ML work is supported by a strong foundation in full-stack development and systems engineering.
- Building robust backends with Django and RESTful APIs to serve ML models.
- Creating intuitive front-ends for users to interact with AI-powered tools.
- Ensuring the security and integrity of data pipelines and deployed applications.
- Experience with low-level programming and memory-constrained environments, valuable for model optimization.
