I am passionate about becoming a machine learning engineer and have a strong foundation in computing, having earned a BTEC Level 3 Diploma in Computing with Distinction. I've developed web and AI-driven applications that function effectively in real-world scenarios, using languages like Java, Python, JavaScript, and databases such as MySQL. Currently, I'm self-learning machine learning and training neural networks using PyTorch. I have a keen interest in speech technology, ethical AI, and deploying large machine learning systems practically. I'm excited about the opportunity to work at Speechmatics, a research-driven company, to contribute to projects that truly understand and make a difference through voice technology.
