I have been administering Linux based servers since 2005 (though it has never been my full time occupation).

At the very beginning, I did most administrative tasks with the help of web based GUI tools such as cPanel, DirectAdmin or Webmin. I then started to learn about the command line and eventually learned enough (vim, bash, zsh, apt, apache/nginx configuration, etc.) to be more effective with the command line than GUI tools.

I eventually started adopting automation tools and DevOps practices as they gained popularity. Those tools/practices include Ansible, Vagrant, CloudFormation, containers, CD/CI, "Infrastructure as Code", short release cycles.

These days, I operate a Deis PaaS that runs on a cluster of CoreOS servers provisioned on AWS.

I am familiar with distributed systems architecture, especially those that relate to web sites/apps.

I have been doing Machine Learning for a bit over a year, mainly in the domain of computer vision. I am self-thaught through and completed the following Coursera classes with 100% grades: "Machine Learning" (Stanford), "Neural Networks and Deep Learning", "Structuring Machine Learning Projects", "Improving Deep Neural Networks: Hyperparameter tuning, Regularization and Optimization", "Convolutional Neural Networks". I have mainly worked with Python, NumPy, Keras and TensorFlow.
