About
I hold a PhD in Astrophysics with a focus on the study of young, massive stars through radio emission research. Currently, I am a Data Scientist at Inseye INC., specializing in data analysis and software development using Python technologies, including Pandas, NumPy, TensorFlow, and scikit-learn. I also have extensive experience in low-level programming, developing modules for embedded systems in C and creating high-performance apps in C++.
