During six years of doing machine learning research in academia, I have contributed to computer vision with five papers at top conferences, and by supervising the next generation of students and researchers. After earning my PhD, I shifted gears to leverage my expertise in building impactful products. As a co-founder of a startup, I worked closely with the team to develop our MVP and bring our ideas to life.
