Work Experience
Machine Learning Engineer
Neuralcam
- Researched and implemented various machine learning projects focused on image processing, object detection, computational photography, natural language processing, sequence modeling, and Stable Diffusion and their applicability on mobile platforms.
- Customized AI portrait generation using Stable Diffusion. Fine-tuned the Stable Diffusion model in a fully automatized setup on AWS for the iOS app—Neural Studio - AI Avatars.
- Worked on a night vision project with NeuralCam Night Photo and contributed to the iPhone's night vision feature for videos.
- Contributed to an automatic artistic photo style learning available at prostyle.cam.
Software Engineer and Data Analyst
Rubrikk Group
- Developed and implemented machine learning algorithms and scaled them to be feasible on significant amounts of data.
- Built a market price prediction of used cars available at https://kleinanzeige.focus.de/autos/volkswagen.
- Created a salary prediction of job postings based on the description.
- Deduplicated millions of ads in real time as part of my role.
Teaching and Research Assistant
Babes Bolyai University
- Lectured labs and seminars on computational logic, web programming, operating systems, computer networks, practical issues of operating systems and computer networks, and introduction to C programming.
