I'm MARIE-LYNNE, a enthusiastic advocate of the STEAM 💨:
🔬 Science • 💡 Technology • 🏗 Engineering • 🎨 Art • 📈 Math

As an software developer, AI builder and data scientist, I thrive at the exciting crossroads of technology and creativity. My core mission is the seamless integration of AI with human experiences, emphasising ethics and interactivity. Additionally, I use AI to enhance my creative processes to expand my horizons and explore new possibilities.

My ultimate goal is to use AI responsibly, encouraging its use to create positive and impactful changes in the world.

• AI & Data: I'm passionate about crafting AI-driven solutions that are not only efficient but adhere to the highest ethical standards. My knack for connecting the dots in vast data landscapes is driven by a commitment to meaningful, impactful results.
• Problem Solver: I find joy in exploring diverse perspectives and crafting creative/unexpected solutions. Solving puzzles energises me and adds zest to my daily work.
• Team Player: I enhance project outcomes by employing (if appropriate) Agile methodologies like Scrum, Lean, Kanban, and XP.
• Tech Explorer: My career is a constant adventure in learning and pushing the boundaries of AI and Machine Learning, with a particular passion for enhancing human-machine interactions, incorporating other perspectives as much as possible.
• Healthcare Innovator: With a deep interest in healthcare (I blame my parents and godparents for this — since they all work in the medical field), I focus on how AI and medical data can revolutionize patient care and provider services.
• NLP Aficionado: My love for linguistics and languages naturally draws me towards NLP and OCR solutions, allowing me to blend technical challenges with my linguistic passions.

• Music and Art Enthusiast: My technical skills extend into the realms of computer music, sound AI/ML, and generative art. While I adore experimenting with digital tools, I also cherish the tactile joy of classical instruments and traditional pen and paper.
• Photographer & Videographer: Whether shooting pictures (outside) or creating engaging music videos, I love mirrorless technologies.
• Sound Engineer & Sound Designer: My journey in programming began in the world of sound engineering and -design. It's a passion that continues to resonate with me. I extended this further in fields like MIR and DSP.

• Lifelong Learner and Educator: I love learning... and my hunger for knowledge is matched only by my enthusiasm for sharing it. I seize every opportunity to teach and inspire others.
• Avid Reader: Books are my gateway to new ideas and perspectives. They broaden my understanding of the world as well as that they are instrumental in my ongoing quest to learn new languages.
• Family Life: I’m a proud parent with a budding junior programmer. My little boy commandeers the keyboard whenever I code, and I have two feline assistants who think the best place for a nap is right on those keys...
• Language Enthusiast: Fluent in several languages my linguistic skills enrich my professional interactions, travels, and reading experiences. Every good adventure starts with new connections!
• Traveler: My wanderlust is fueled by more than just a desire to see new places. Each journey offers a unique opportunity to immerse myself in different cultures, practice new and familiar languages.

• Theme Preference: The preferred theme for my code editor, as showcased throughout this README, is the Nord Theme.
• Matplotlib Sectret: I feel a not-so-secret animosity for plots and graphs without defined styles! Consistent colours and clear visual themes just make data so much more engaging easier to understand. (The default Matplotlib theme could use a little spicing up! 🫣)
• Live Programming: I would love to do some live music programming, however I cannot find the courage. Any tips or encouragement from fellow live coding musicians would be greatly appreciated!

Here’s a glimpse into my current soundtrack as I code. Feel free to tune in!
