About Me

Hello👋 my name is Antonella Schiavoni, I’m a Senior Machine Learning Engineer with over 5 years of experience. I am currently working at TicketSwap as Machine Learning Engineer in Amsterdam and also working on my Data Science Master thesis. I enjoy learning new things and building prototypes to apply the knowledge 🤓. I work with Python 🐍 and a wide range of ML frameworks and libraries. Also, I am always looking for opportunities to learn and apply something new. The technologies that I currently have the most experience working with are: Python, Pytorch, Docker, Kubernetes, Circle CI, Jenkins, R, Sklearn, Pandas, Git, ML Flow and AWS services.

Projects

Email Classification Service

Github Code

Classify your email text using this email classification service

A web application that contains a django service and a machine learning model that given a request with the text of an email, can detect if the email is spam or not.

Evolutionary Tic Tac Toe

Github Code

Apply evolutionary algorithm to play tic tac toe

This project consists of several scripts that are used to run the evolutionary algorithm to train an Agent to play tic tac toe.

Entity Recognition Service

Github Code

Detect the different entities that are in a text.

A rest api that exposes and endpoint that returns the entities found in a text.

Education

Universidad de San Andres, Bs As, Argentina

MSc. in Data Science

2020 - 2022

During my masters at Universidad de San Andres I worked on improving my analytical skills as well as my modeling and statistical skills. I had the opportunity to study and apply a wide variety of machine learning techniques, as well as learning and understanding the mathematical background beahind the algorithims. In the two years program, I’ve improve my knowlgede on statistics, programming for data analysis, data visualization, supervised and unsupervised networs, NLP, neural networks with an image processing approach, and geostatistics and graph networks.

Universidad del Noroeste de la Provincia de Buenos Aires (UNNOBA), Junín, Argentina

BSc. in Computer Engineering

2011 - 2017)

During my degree at UNNOBA I developed lots of important skills such as programming, debugging, agile, team work, project management. The main focuse was software development and principles of programming which I constantly use in my day to day work.

A Little More About Me

On my free time I’m trying to learn more about blockchain and improving my athletic skills, specially running 🏃. My goal for next year is to run at least one 5k race 🤞
