🔭 I’m currently working on two distinct AI and machine learning projects: one harnessing RNN LSTM technology for sentiment-driven lyric generation from tweets, and the other focused on developing a real-time fact-checking bot for Twitter.

🌱 I’m currently learning about machine learning and RNN LSTM networks for sentiment-driven lyric generation, while also furthering my understanding of backend development and computer networks, especially in the context of streaming services, based on my experience at Netflix.

👯 I’m looking to collaborate on opportunities centered around constructing sophisticated backend systems with a dedicated focus on computer network optimization, I bring to the table a unique blend of academic and practical experience. Furthermore, I am excited about the potential to work on innovative projects at the intersection of machine learning and computer networks. This interest stems from my desire to harness the power of my project-based experience, further exploring these cutting-edge domains, and contributing meaningfully to pioneering solutions.

🤝 I’m looking for help with guidance and opportunities that will allow me to expand my practical experience in backend development and machine learning. I am particularly interested in unique job roles and mentorship experiences that will expose me to new challenges, fostering the refinement of my skills in these fields. In this journey, I aim to engage with experienced individuals or teams that can guide me towards deepening my understanding of computer networks and machine learning, thereby enriching my contributions to the dynamic landscape of the tech industry.

👨‍💻 All of my projects are available on Github
