About
Hello, my name is Jorgen Cani (pronounced ). Please continue reading to find out more about what I do, what I've done and what I like!
Background
I am currently an MPhil student in the Informatics and Telematics department at the Harokopio University of Athens.
I’ve developed a keen interest in several computer science subjects, primarily related to the research I've done and my work. Those include, but are not limited to:
- Large Language Models (LLMs)
- Agent design
- Computer Vision
- Robotics
- DevOps
- WebDev
However, my personal technological interests are not limited to the above. I'm slowly — in my own time — developing creative skills in:
- Photography
- RAW image editing
- Image editing and design using Acorn and Affinity
- Video editing using DaVinci Resolve
- 3D printing and (some) design
