About
I am Salma Shaik. I'm a machine learning engineer and developer advocate based in India, having worked at Microsoft and scaled communities at Google Developers. My other interests aside from machine learning are backend development, data engineering and distributed systems. Always up to discuss on diffusion models, developer tools, health informatics, worldbuilding, transhumanism, and literature!
