Objective
Software Engineer with 20+ years of development experience. The last three years have been a deep-dive into Machine Learning. Built an art composition attributes neural network and successfully demonstrated manipulation of color, contrast and other attributes. Presented a poster on this project at the NeurIPS Creativity workshop in 2018. My recent work, Subtle Bodies, has focused on training U-GAT-IT on datasets composed of my paintings and drawings. I'm currently creating 3D models of the generated paintings in Blender.
Would like to use my proven skills in requirements analysis, software and database development in Web3 and Machine Learning projects.
