Hello and welcome! 👋
My name is Alejandro, I'm from Colombia and I'm an electronic engineer passionate about data, ML, and software with a master in engineering.
-
🔭 Currently working for CIAT as Machine learning engineer, data scientist and research associate in tumaini app an android app for disease detection using tensorflow and their object detection API -
🌱 Honored Master Thesis: "BananaGAN: Augmenting major banana disease classification using generated diseased pseudostem and rachis images". I used generative adversarial networks to generate artificial banana sick plants images to do data augmentation as input to train object detection deep learning models
