About Me

I'm currently working as an NLP Engineer @ aveni.

I have a PhD from Heriot-Watt University, where my research was on applying natural language processing-based machine learning algorithms to programming languages.

Prior to that, I obtained a First-Class Master's degree (MEng) in Digital Electronics (now known as Electronics and Computer Engineering) from the University of Sheffield.

In my spare time I enjoy: reading, listening to podcasts, playing board games, and watching baseball.
