Skills βοΈ
For a long time, I have been using a lot of computer tools, engineering programs, and programming languages. When I face a problem, I could learn some tools quickly and solve the problem or generate some results.
The important thing is that I could learn in a fast way and get the job done ;)
- Languages
- Python / Jupyter
- Matlab / Simulink
- SQL
- ML & DL
- Visualization
- Matplotlib
