Business profile
I have been working as a freelance software developer for the past 8 years, during which I have both consulted clients and built software for them to solve their NLP and machine learning related problems. During this time I have worked both as part of a team and autonomously, both on novel problems requiring sophisticated solutions, and on building the applications around them, from designing the solution, to implementing, deploying and maintaining it, and training other team members to use it.
As an on-site developer, I worked as a (research) software engineering intern for Google Zurich, and as machine learning intern for Amazon Development Centre Scotland, where I had the opportunity to further learn about what it is to do machine learning to improve a product on which millions of users rely, working with huge amounts of data.
