Living our values

"From my early PhD research to my later years in industry, my passion for data, pattern recognition, and model scaling has fuelled my career. In the ever-evolving realms of data science and AI, I live the cycle of 'Learn, Adapt, and Grow'. I'm exhilarated by each invention yet grounded by my advisor's wisdom: explaining the model is paramount and the key to real-life application. Therefore, the philosophy, 'We choose right over easy', resonates deeply with me, capturing both my professional journey and my enthusiastic commitment."
