Experience
Winner in Data Science Hackathon "DataThon"
Processed data and built an RNN-based model in 36 hours. This was based on clients' past transactions and behavior. The model identified individuals who may use a credit card, therefore increasing the profit of the bank. This was implemented using PyTorch.
Winner in "Big Data Hackathon"
Converted the Georgian sign language to a text translator. I led the machine learning team, gathered, processed, and labeled data, and built the model that translates Georgian sign language to text in a live regime using PyTorch and OpenCV.
