Ali Faraji is a Machine Learning Engineer and a Mathematics enthusiast based in Toronto, ON, Canada.

Hi,

My name is Ali Faraji.

I am a machine learning enthusiast and an open-source fan. I’m also into mathematics.

Goals for 2025

  • Defend my Master’s thesis
  • Contribute more to open-source projects
  • Achieve at least a C1 level in French
  • Learn a new programming language for fun
    • I’m thinking about Rust
  • Write more blog posts—specifically, sharing my ideas and experiments in machine learning that might be useful or insightful to others

Day-to-Day Work

As of May 2025, I’m currently working on:

  • Machine learning and unlearning
  • Topics related to LLMs and transformers
  • Spatiotemporal data

Skills

My skills include, but are not limited to: Python, PyTorch, data visualization, statistics and probability, Java EE, Spring, RDBMS, Angular, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, networking, Arduino, server configuration, Linux, Docker, AWS, API development, Git, CI/CD, aspect-oriented programming, object-oriented programming, Eclipse IDEs, WordPress plugin development, and LLM-based application development.

Yes, that’s a lot of skills 🤯, but I’m not a master of all of them. I’m a master of none šŸ˜, but a jack of all trades. I’m a fast learner and always eager to pick up new things by diving into documentation or code and figuring out how it all works. :))

Open Source

I’m passionate about open-source! I’ve contributed to and developed projects, especially in machine learning and scientific programming. Always eager to collaborate—let’s build something great!

Sports

I love going to the gym, swimming, and cycling.
