I am a PhD candidate in Electrical Engineering specializing in machine learning and optimization, with hands-on experience in experimental evaluation of machine learning methods, dataset analysis, and teaching assistance for ML and signal processing topics. I value reproducibility, rigorous evaluation, and data-driven conclusions, and I enjoy collaborating across disciplines to turn ideas into validated results. I thrive in fully remote and asynchronous research environments, bring strong programming skills (Python, Java, C/C++, MATLAB) and experience building and validating experimental pipelines, benchmark studies, and scientific publications.
