ABOUT ME
Machine Learning Engineer for 5 years, Python developer for 12+ years
Machine Learning Engineer for 5 years, Python developer for 12+ years
Hi there! My name is Jon. I love using technology to help solve useful problems, and to help others do the same. My background is a combination of software development, embedded systems, signal processing and machine learning. I can mentor in any of these areas, and am especially good at the intersections of these fields.
I have worked as a software engineer full-time since 2010, and Machine Learning Engineer since 2019. Currently, I am Head of Data Science and CTO at Soundsensing.
Over my career I have worked for most kinds of clients, from startups and small technology companies, to municipalities and large multinational corporations.
I have a Master in Data Science, and a Bachelor in Electronics Engineering.

Jon was efficient, insightful and had very relevant experience! This saved me hours of googling, and many more hours of reimplementing my version control system after realising the flaw Jon pointed out. Thanks!
