Working with a supportive, collaborative team has been an incredible experience. I have deepened my expertise, especially in AI, while applying cutting-edge technologies in real-world scenarios. Beyond technical skills, I have expanded my commercial awareness and knowledge of food production and health. Additionally, I have enhanced my communication and interpersonal skills, which are just as essential as technical expertise.
