How does a dancer at the Joffrey Ballet School go from center stage to software engineering and GenAI? Well, software is just a dance—choreographed 0s and 1s on a hardware stage. I am now dancing through the tech industry, seeking backend Software Engineering roles focused on APIs, Operating Systems, LLMs, NLP, GenAI, and Prompt Engineering. I am looking to join a team that shares my motto: “If it’s never been done before, I’m in!” 𝐌𝐲 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 In 2023, I joined CodeSignal as the first Course Review Engineer for “CodeSignal Learn”, an AI-powered learning platform. I established QA standards, developed a scalable audit pipeline, and conducted technical audits for over 100 courses. I focused on NLP technologies like TensorFlow, PyTorch, and NLTK. Later, I leveled-up to Course Developer Engineer, creating 11 courses and 270+ practical coding exercises. Preview my courses “Rust Programming for Beginners” and “Mastering Shell Scripting with Bash” on CodeSignal Learn! 𝐌𝐲 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐞 My expertise spans LLMs, Neural Networks, NLP, GenAI, and Prompt Engineering, with experience in NLP systems and orchestration, automation, and QA pipelines. I am skilled in Python, C, Java, Rust, SQL, Ruby on Rails, HTML/CSS, and JavaScript. Highlights of my Python work include designing neural networks for handwriting recognition and language detection, and training AI systems using reinforcement learning for complex decision-making tasks. (See my “Projects” section) 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 As a member of the Unreal Engine Open Source community, I am working on a passion project that combines GenAI with NLP orchestration (ChatGPT) to create video games with Unreal Engine’s new Python API. I am certified as an AWS Cloud Practitioner and am pursuing the AWS AI Practitioner certification to hone my skills in building scalable AI language models. 𝐋𝐞𝐭’𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭 I’m always happy to discuss Software Engineering opportunities, connect with techies, collaborate, or chat about dance. Send me a message or email me at zrondos gmail.com

Passionate about leveraging data to drive strategic decision-making, I recently completed my final classes at the University of Michigan, where I earned a master's degree in Applied Data Science in December, 2023. With a solid foundation in economics and political science developed while double-majoring as an undergraduate at UCLA, I bring a unique interdisciplinary perspective to data-driven problem solving. My coursework has honed my skills in natural language processing, data mining, machine learning, data visualization, and deep learning, equipping me to extract and convey meaningful insights from complex datasets. Eager to contribute to the rapidly-growing and ever-evolving field of data science, I am actively seeking professional opportunities that will allow me to apply my skills and continue learning. My goal is to make a substantial impact by solving real-world problems through innovative data-driven solutions and clear, accessible communication. I'm excited about the prospect of collaborating with dynamic teams and staying at the forefront of advancements in this exciting and transformative field. Let's connect and explore how my diverse background and technical skills can contribute to innovative solutions through data science! Additionally, I am a musician and music instructor and am passionate about helping others discover and develop their musical ability. I've performed in venues ranging from concert halls to elementary school assemblies to bluegrass festivals, and I'm interested in many genres including rock, folk, pop, blues, country, bluegrass, and old time. Regardless of a student’s age and skill level, I'm happy to tailor my teaching to the needs and interests of each individual to ensure they develop the proper knowledge and technique to accomplish their goals.

Hey there, I'm all about solving everyday puzzles, and data helps me do just that. It's like my secret weapon for understanding stuff better. Oh, and I'm a big fan of startups and taking on new challenges - keeps life interesting, you know? Right now, I'm in this exciting world where tech, business, and society come together. I'm learning about marketing, connecting with people, and finding cool solutions to problems. I get my wisdom from good books, interesting podcasts, and the awesome people I meet. In my work life, I'm a troubleshooter. I dig into data, find the facts, and use them to solve real-life issues. I've done Data Analysis, Sales, Content Creation, and Business Strategies. So, let's make some tea and chat about understanding everyday things, our favorite books/ anime, or that cool startup idea you've got. When I'm not working, I'm out in nature, reading a good book, or cooking up something tasty. I also love traveling to explore new places and taste different foods and learn about a different culture. I believe in ethics, logic, and a good sense of humor. Life can be tricky, but facing challenges with a smile makes it better. I'm not the typical corporate type - I like keeping things simple and fun, especially while we figure out life's mysteries! If you're up for easygoing chats, tackling everyday problems, and mixing in some logic and creativity, let's connect. We can learn, brainstorm, and make a real impact on the world together. Can't wait to hear your stories, share ideas, and dive into our next adventure!

I've recently been working with LLMs like GPT in a Prompt Engineering capacity. If you're wow'd by the simple stuff you can do with ChatGPT, you should really see what I can do with the Prompt Engineering that I know now. Before I starting learning about LLMs, I enjoyed Programmatic SEO, NLP (especially the SpaCy library), and web scraping using Python (Beautiful Soup). I've worked on numerous SEO projects by scraping data from the web and combining it with a simple Node.js / Python stack
