He earned a PhD in neuroscience and published several research articles in peer-reviewed journals describing important features of the mechanisms that enable communication between neurons before stepping outside the lab. Today, he works independently as a freelance photographer and data annotator, training state-of-the-art AI models.

For this reason, I designed my process to be as smooth, fun, and stress-free as possible, so you can relax and enjoy your session.
