MACHINE LEARNING ENTHUSIAST

Hello

Here's who I am and what I do

Welcome to my personal website! I am an AI developer pursuing a Master’s in Artificial Intelligence at TU Eindhoven, where I am constantly applying First Principles thinking to solve complex problems. I am the creator of EmbedAnything, a Rust-based library designed to optimize embedding pipelines, making them faster and more reliable. As the head of the Machine Learning team at Team Serpentine, I am leading the development of AI solutions for Brain-Computer Interfaces. With a passion for advancing technology, I am committed to using AI for social good and exploring green technology innovations. Let’s collaborate to shape a better future through cutting-edge solutions to real-world challenges.
