About

My name is Akimi, and I am an AI/ML Software Engineer, based in Silicon Valley. I am passionate about data-driven innovation to solve problems that people face on a daily bases. As an AI/ML Engineer, I specialize in developing cutting-edge Machine Learning models and deploying scalable AI solutions. With expertise in Deep Learning, Computer Vision, and Generative AI, I am excited about solving complex problems through data-driven approaches. My projects involves building and optimizing models for real-world applications, leveraging frameworks like TensorFlow and PyTorch. Please check out my GitHub page where I built my ML models to solve various problems: https://github.com/akimi-yano. I have also worked as a Software Engineer at Microsoft and start up called Finli, and I have integrated AI/ML functionalities to empower applications and solved distinct scalability challenges. I have also contributed to improving latency and QoS issues for consumer facing apps. I am always eager to explore new advancements in AI, enhance model performance, and contribute to impactful projects. I am currently looking for roles to solve challenges related to Generative AI for image and video. Please feel free to message me and connect to discuss any future collaboration ideas :D
