About me

Intro

In a world overloaded with information, knowing where to focus your attention is critical. This holds true for AI, predictive models but also for life in general. After all, that's why 'Attention is all you need'. I am a Big Data and AI/ML Engineer with a passion for data, statistics, and probabilities. This passion is reflected in my commitment to excellence, innovation, and delivering high-quality work in everything I do. I love using probability and statistics to answer real-world questions—like how likely your car is to break down during a trip, based on its age and maintenance history.
