👋 Welcome to my academic and professional journey!

I’m a Developer, Consultant, ML Researcher, and 📚 Doctorate Candidate. with 9+ years of experience working in the industry and research institute. My research interest focused on developing real-time, robust applications by blending computer vision and deep learning techniques. Mainly by extracting, localizing, and recognizing patterns in the imagery data.

🌱 Currently, I am pursing Ph.D. on Adaptation of Deep Learning Models for Video-Based Expression Recognition under the supervision of Prof. Eric Granger and Prof. Marco Pedersoli.
