Available to hire
I’m Matej Marić, a machine learning engineer based in Zagreb, Croatia. I build end-to-end CV/ML systems, from data pipelines and model training to production inference, with a focus on reliable, scalable solutions for real-world footage and imagery. Most recently I worked on a photography-detection system for a museum and on backend ML services for a retail app.
I enjoy turning complex data problems into maintainable software, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and applying ML to wildlife monitoring and conservation as well as digital experiences.
