ABOUT ME
Computer vision, data science, R&D, robotics, 10+ years of experience
Computer vision, data science, R&D, robotics, 10+ years of experience

I work in the intersection of research and development for computer vision. My skills are developing algorithms, testing them, visualizing them, and providing a path for them to reach production on any kind of hardware. I've worked on computer vision and deep learning problems, using mostly Python for visualization and C++ for production code. I have experience bringing these algorithms down to C for microcontrollers.

I love thinking through algorithms, problems, constraints, and best of all, getting people started on their path through learning to code.

In my spare time I maintain an introductory Python blog at http://practicepython.org and am starting to learn Julia.

Version control means you have clean code, clean backups, and easy coordination with others. I've used Git for over a decade for both personal and work projects, and git flow is the way I love to work.

Michele was knowledgeable on the subject matter and was very patient. Would gladly work with her again.

So far I am really enjoying one to one coding sessions with Michele. Michele is very friendly, patient and extremely knowledgeable in all areas of Python programming. Although I am someone who always tries to work things out for myself, there is always that point as a beginner where I need more of a helping hand and honest feedback to make sure I am on the right track. This is where the sessions come in really useful. Michele gives instant feedback on my programs and this is invaluable in helping me assess where I am in the learning process and where I need to be. When I get stuck with a coding issue, Michele always points me in the right direction and explains and demonstrates things in an easy to understand way. It is very impressive how Michele can instantly see where there is a problem with my code and I can honestly say if it was not for these sessions I would not have progressed as far as I have. These sessions have really helped me start to think more like a programmer and write my algorithms better and as a result my skills are getting better and better! I highly recommend Michele and I will look forward to long term mentoring with Michele.
