MISCELLANEOUS

Ian is a software developer and co-founder at Eggsprout. He is a computer science graduate from the University of Washington with a minor in music. While in school, he has been employed by Google, Microsoft, Siemens Medical Solutions, AOL and UW. Ian has been through his fair share of quarter-life crises prancing between various career paths including violin performance, neurobiology, philosophy, law, psychiatry, and … nursing. Computer science was ironically his last choice due to unattractive stereotypes and exceptionally mediocre grades in the introduction courses. His current interest lies in machine learning especially in application to career counseling. — http://www.eggsprout.com/about_us

GREETINGS

Spyros Tsevas, 4 months ago
Hi Ian, thnx for your interest in my profile. I am in AI/ML applications in bio-things with a major focus on biomedical image and video processing.

It is nice to find somebody who works on ML for career counseling ...it is really challenging to combine the machine-thing with the blood-warm process of making decisions about your life!

Good luck with the Egg-Sprout initiative!
