PROFILE

Greetings! I am a computer science engineer with a profound interest in NLP and AI in general.

I can communicate at C-level, but I can also program and train ML models :)

What makes me happy? ‣ Solving problems ‣ Keep learning ‣ Open Source repos ‣ Linux and Emacs (actually I have a love-hate relationship with Emacs :)
