About


I am interested in taking on challenges that involve tackling complex problems, leveraging ingenuity and quantitative skills in hands-on machine learning projects, while contributing to a broader strategic vision. I have a strong foundation in statistics and machine learning, and my preferred programming languages are R and Python. I hold a B.Sc. in Cognitive Science and a M.Sc. in Statistics and Machine Learning from Linköping University.
