About myself
Hi there, I’m Itamar Balla, but you can call me Jade., I am a senior full-stack developer and data enthusiast. I’ve been in the tech industry for a while, working at both Carl Zeiss Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology and Intel, and have a Ph.D. in Materials Science & Engineering.
My journey has seen me work on some cool projects - from improving photomask processing, and optimizing semiconductor processes to developing systems for data analysis. I enjoy creating something from scratch, using code to transform complex problems into efficient solutions, especially when I get to play with Kubernetes and apply distributed computing techniques to machine learning and AI work loads.
