Passionate, results-driven R&D engineer, leader with can-do attitude with more than 6 years biomedical engineering experience at UAB Ortho Baltic. I helped Ortho Baltic R&D team to create personalized implantable medical devices manufacturing facility, to equip and validate quality control laboratory from zero. I also helped to introduce 4 personalized implants solutions to the market and claim 4 patents.
All the time I been working with many types of data and been curious how to improve some data processing steps, make them faster, more reliable and fail proof.
When I started working on AI/ML based project, I dived deeper into Python, data science and started intensively learning related principles.
Currently I’m looking for a position where I would be challenged enough to keep learning and could bring some values from highly regulated medical device industry.
