About Me


TL;DR

I'm a freelance software developer with tons of interests, specializing in Computer Vision, Machine Learning and iOS development.


Background

I started my career as a circuit designer working on IBM server microprocessors.

After the iPhone SDK was released, I played around with it and eventually left my cushy job to begin life as an indie app developer. I co-created a series of children's language learning apps called Gus on the Go and eventually started freelancing.

In 2017, I got interested in self driving cars and even took a nanodegree program with Udacity. This set of courses introduced me to deep learning and I became obsessed. I consumed as much information on the subject as possible, particularly when it came to computer vision.

I even built a deep learning server.

Shortly after, I started looking for freelance contracts that involved machine learning. Being able to experiment with models in real-life situations accelerated my learning.

Today, I successfully help clients create and integrate deep learning models into their products and have a blast doing so.


Learning

I have always loved learning new things. I only realized how important this is to me several years after I graduated from Carnegie Mellon University. Learning is a large part of my identity and even personality.

I have a very diverse set of interests. My curiosity leads me to learn many things in different fields. Often, I find I'm able to draw from other fields when solving problems. I love making connections between seemingly random facts.

I enjoy learning by reading articles, books and listening to podcasts. I also ask lots of questions.


Writing

I also occasionally write tutorials for raywenderlich.com. A lot of my tutorials involve using Apple's Vision framework for iOS.
