Ilija S.

Learn through data analysis, would be the tag line for me. I am a machine learning engineer/data scientist with NLP research background and 20 years of experience. In the last few years I worked mostly on large scale search systems dealing with number of NLP applications -- including use of LLMs and genAI technology as well as more classical techniques. Big data ecosystems is where I work best and I have worked on systems with millions of users, 100s of milions of documents (data points), and petabytes of data. Project I was involved in helped streamline startups with their initial ML endeavours or helped estabilished companies keep up or catch up with the newest technologiest. Teams I worked with ranged from a group of founderst to teams numbering thousands and I am fairly comfortable in both situations.
