Hi, I’m Aser 👋
MSc in Mathematics & Machine Learning. I work on Visual Reasoning, Reinforcement Learning, and elegant bridges between theory and application, especially with multimodal models.
“Tiny consistent steps compound into transformations that once seemed impossible.”
I’m actively seeking job opportunities and open to research collaborations. Don’t hesitate to get in touch or explore my portfolio to see more of my work!
