Education & experience
My journey
A path marked by languages and adaptability: from a German language school in Bulgaria to a Computer Science degree taught entirely in Chinese, and on to engineering machine learning systems.
EducationHigh school
German Language School
Ruse, Bulgaria
An educational path shaped by languages and a commitment to academic excellence. I graduated at the top of my class with honors.
Alongside my studies I earned the German language diploma DSD II and a Cambridge English certificate, both at C1 level.
