NLP, Computational Linguistics, Multi-Modal Deep Learning

Junior AI Engineer, ellamind GmbH

🤔 Myself?

I have a Master's degree in Computational Linguistics from IMS, Universität Stuttgart, with the primary focus being on Applied Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning and Multi-Modality in NLP.
I used to write a lot of Java and C++ (honourable mention, JS) in the past but ever since I started my master's degree, I got hardstuck into Python and that's where I am now.
Pytorch and Jax.
Other than Python, I am an open-source and Linux aficionado, (no I don't use Arch, btw). I am also a tinkerer at home and may have self-hosted a lot of things (I need to check what's currently running on my home server).
Also, Docker and Podman.
I've prior experience as a Software Engineer (Javascript, Swift, SwiftUI).
I have organised workshops and tutorials for students, ranging from beginner to intermediate topics in Machine Learning, Linux and Software Development.
I've also been a teaching assistant for the Bachelor's and Master's programming courses offered at IMS from 2020 to 2023.
Junior AI Engineer at ellamind GmbH since April 2024.
Also contributing to DiscoResearch
