% ---------- SUMMARY ----------
\begin{cvsection}{Summary}
  \begin{cvsubsection}{}{}{}
      Early-career AI/ML engineer (B.CompSci, AI stream) skilled at building \textbf{end-to-end ML systems}: data prep, model training and evaluation in Jupyter; productionising with modern tooling (APIs, containers, CI/CD). Clear docs, small demos, and measurable results. Correspondingly interested in the theoretical Mathematics and Statistics of ML -- grad school deferred.
