I am a Data Scientist at Porsche AG as well as a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science.
I was born in Azerbaijan, a magnificent small country located on the skirts of the Caucasus mountains, west of the Caspian sea, and grew up there.
In my senior high school year, I studied in TN, the US for a full academic year as an exchange student.
After graduating from the university in Azerbaijan, I moved to South Korea to study Master in Computer Science and Korean language for 3 and a half years.
Then, I moved back to my homeland and worked for a telecom company for a year as an ERP technical analyst.
Later on, I decided I wanted to continue my education in the area of AI and Machine Learning and moved to Dresden, Germany to start pursuing my Ph.D.
During my Ph.D., I worked in Poland for 6 months as a research assistant.
As you can see I have a great international experience - I have lived in far-far West and far-far East as well as just in the middle; thru which I got the opportunity to learn many different cultures and met tons of interesting people of various backgrounds, and I am eager to share what I have learned with others.
Although I am quite busy with my studies, in my spare time I enjoy traveling and taking photos. You can see my photo gallery at https://500px.com/ahmedatum :)
I am pretty sure you will enjoy my company :)
