About Me

I’m an Electrical Engineer passionate about Machine Learning, Data Science, and Embedded Systems. I enjoy building end-to-end projects—from data collection and analysis to modeling, evaluation, and deployment, along with developing smart embedded solutions. My experience spans working with microcontrollers like STM32, ESP32, and 8051, and applying AI techniques such as Deep Learning, NLP, and Computer Vision to solve real-world problems. I’m driven by curiosity and a desire to create systems that are efficient, intelligent, and impactful.
