I worked as a Metallurgical Engineer for a hydrometallurgical processing plant for 12 years. While there, I taught myself python and machine learning to develop a model that could optimize our operation. Then I switched to a web developer role to expose myself to more coding time. I worked as an associate software engineer developing api's through nodejs and express and the MERN stack. Meanwhile I still kept studying machine learning and deeplearning through online courses in Coursera, Udemy, Dataquest and Kaggle.
Currently, I am learning devops and aws to add more tools to my skillset.
