Ralph Dugue

Self-Taught Machine Learning Engineer

I'm a quadriplegic wheelchair user, and I'm passionate about accessibility and creating software that improves the lives of marginalized people. Professionally, I have been a software engineer for well over a decade, doing full-stack mobile and web development for small to medium, fast growing businesses.I enjoy working with Kotlin and Python. I also have experience with TypeScript and modern web development frameworks like Next.js and FastAPI.
More recently, I have decided to fully commit to a career in machine learning, with a focus on deep reinforcement learning and robotics. It has been a long time passion of mine, and I am excited at the prospect of working on solutions that can help people like me gain more autonomy and independence.
In my free time I am a videogame nerd, basketball nerd, chess nerd, and a PC building nerd.
