Greetings! I'm a machine learning engineer and applied mathematics graduate student with an interest for all things tech. Most of my professional work has been developing web apps that deploy ML services, but I have also done UI design, CI/CD work and Data Engineering.

Currently, I am focused on web scraping and data curation. I use tools like Scrapy and BeautifulSoup to scrape the web and organize data effectively. Then I deploy ETL jobs to make that data readily accessible for end-users.

My interests span the tech world. I try to keep track of a number of areas that I think could have big implications or are simply neat, such as neuromorphic computing, distributed systems research and homomorphic encryption (and AI of course, which is somewhat mainstream these days).

Feel free to shoot me an email if you want to chat! I always enjoy hearing from random people on the other side of the internet.
