    I graduated with a BS in Applied Mathematics/Statistics from San Jose State University. I have a strong background in quantitative science through my degree and previous experience working with raw data at the Shaffer Avian Physiology and Ecology Lab. In addition, my data science skills were sharpened through the Applied Data Science Program, where I gained hands-on experience in data cleaning, data analysis, and statistical analyses. My capstone project challenged me as my objective was to build a regression model that accurately predicts the target variable. I successfully interpreted patterns in the data, created a Random Forest model that accounted for 97% of the variance in the target variable, and prepared a summary analysis that featured crucial findings and actionable recommendations. Through my past experience, I have built and exercised my theoretical foundation and practical knowledge of data science. I invite you to look at my profile for further details about my experience.

    Over 25 years of C++ experience, over 15 years of image and video processing, over 10 years of ML experience. Machine Learning - TensorFlow, ONNX, Pytorch,, Computer vision - Detectron2, YOLO4, DarkNet, Openpose, OpenCV Facial recognition - Insight Face. Efficient vector-based searches and databases - Faiss, Mulvus Video, image compression and high performance data and media processing * C++, ffmpeg, CUDA, OpenGL, Intel MKL / IPP * h264, h265 (HEVC), AV1, NVENC Used to work at Google image analysis research team, one of the latest researches were about training neural network to guess the classification of very blurred or completely cut out object from the rest of the scene. The model was build using TensorFlow. * Recently finished a large project for real-time performers on the scene detection for purposes of real-time video camera auto zoom. Yolo4 / Darknet was used as base, but tuned to the specifics of cheerleading performance - performers doing flips and etc. * Another large project is face-based photo search, with Arcface being used as a foundation for face embedding calculation, and a mixture of GPU-accelerated brute force search with Faiss as vector search for fast initial result. The challenges were about overcoming bandwidth limitation for photo uploads and overcoming memory bandwidth constrains on vector searches over 20+million face embeddings.
