About

Stephen Gass

Hi! I’m a Senior Data Engineer with a Master’s Data Science interested in all thing software. I use this website to document a few personal projects and showcase what I’m currently working on in my free time.

I see myself as a software developer that specializes in big data, software optimization, and the deployment of deep learning models in the cloud. I am, first-and-foremost, an engineer and love designing solutions to difficult technical puzzles. I’m constantly learning new skills and looking for ways to grow professionally.

You can find out more of what I’m working on my looking at the Projects page.

Please feel free to reach out for any reason!
