Remote: Yes, EU timezones preferred

Willing to relocate: Depends on the location (but with a strong bias for EU-Schengen/US locations)

I'm not actively looking (hence why my resume link is obfuscated like that) but I'm at least interested in getting a feel for the market right now. That said, I'm willing to consider a position with a great fit for my skill set and career goals.

Here's my pitch: I have experience in a multitude of industries and positions. From improving legacy infra and processes in an established telco company to scaling a fast-moving startup from 200K to 2M users. In my free time, I love writing Code That Is Poetry but day-to-day I am not an idealist engineer who doesn't compromise. Well-engineered code is clean and correct but correct above all else.

Oh, also, I'm great at writing documentation. I consider myself introverted but apparently my communication skills are above average for Software Engineers. I also pride myself on my humility and modesty.

I'm currently a backend engineer developing features and improving infra for an online game with millions of daily active users. I'd love to explore other technical positions in the games industry short of joining a AAA studio because (a) I don't want to crunch and (b) my skill set does not lay that way; other tech-creative industries would also appeal to me! Another particular interest is in B2C businesses where the 'C' is software developers. I'd love to chat and network about opportunities; if you think you have a product that could benefit from my skill set, drop me a line!

Remote: Yes, preferred. Flexible with EU and US time zones.

Willing to relocate: Yes

Technologies: machine learning, deep learning, Python, PyTorch, NumPy/Pandas, flask, SQL, Docker, Rust

Industries/domain expertise: PhD in mathematics (statistical methods/modeling, topological data analysis, representation theory), master's theses in finance and neuroscience, application of machine learning/deep learning to banking/finance for risk evaluation and fraud prediction

Résumé/CV: available on request

Expertise in data science and development of ML/DL models across domains (in banking/finance, for domain-specific image analysis and for neuroscience); 6+ years professionally working with Python and machine learning

I'm actively exploring remote opportunities where I can apply my unique combination of skills coming from a math and developer background

Open to freelance/contract work.
