I earned my master's degree in ML in 2018. I have since been working in industry as a full-time researcher as well as moonlighting as an independent consultant. My work experience has included (to name a few):
* RNN-based time-series analyses
* Using deep learning to extract data from images of receipts
* Building a document anonymization system using NER
* Researching, designing, and deploying an online, active meta-learning CV + NLP system which autonomously trains and maintains a fleet of 100s of models

I have extensive experience with Python. I was first introduced to it in the first year of my undergraduate degree. I have since used Python from my master's thesis, to consulting, to research in industry. I am familiar with everything from the Python Data Model to generators and everything in between.

Java was my first programming language and so it has a special place in my heart. I know it inside and out.

Helped spearhead a new team focused on data science initiatives. The first milestone was a document anonymization system using NER models built in-house. I architected and implemented the software side of the system along with an intern under my supervision. I also created a database to maintain the documents. The second milestone will be a document topic model system.
