Hi! I'm Daniel, a machine learning research engineer from Israel.
I started my career as a programmer, and had the opportunity to take on a range of roles: FS developer, team lead, and course instructor.
I then got into the world of data science / ML, in a nutrition startup that was later acquired by Medtronic.
After that I ventured out on my own as a freelance machine learning practitioner; now I work with several startups on ML / vision problems. I also work with an Israeli non-profit, helping to create and improve tech-ed programs for youth.
Bachelor's degree in computer science from the Open University, Master's degree in machine learning & data science from Reichman University.
Partial list of things I'm excited about: * Algorithms and optimizations * Translating experts’ domain knowledge and intuition into concrete methods and metrics * Designing ad-hoc models that make the most of little data (mostly because that involves designing custom metrics and coming up with creative ways of optimizing them) * Finding patterns in behavior * Creating interactive visualizations to explore complex data and interactions
Also, I have a blog!
