01About

A bit about me.

Cristhian Wiki

Hi, I'm Cristhian Wiki, a passionate machine learning engineer and self-taught researcher from Peru. I am a PyTorch lover, very interested in the creation of novel neural network architectures (SOA), as well as their rapid implementation and accessibility (using MLOps tools).

My goal as a human being is to be able to change the world and make it a better place (using deep learning and lots of creativity). I love a good challenge, and I'm planning to pursue a Master's or PhD next, focused on deep learning and neuroscience.

Outside of work, you'll find me riding motorcycles, tinkering with cars, traveling whenever I can, and at the gym — but especially hanging out with my cats, who are pretty much my whole world.

“Any fool can write code that a computer understands. Good programmers write code that humans can understand.”
