Bio
Fatemeh Borran
I know Vil since 2017. We have been working in the same team until early 2022. Vil is one of the most skilled and knowledgeable team members I have had the chance to work with. He has been a very supportive colleague and great contributor to our NLP projects at Swisscom. His outstanding working quality and his willingness to integrate the latest technologies and best practices into daily work have always been very inspiring. His unique and fun way of approaching difficult situations was beneficial in boosting team motivation and morale. I am convinced that Vil will be a great asset to any company. Not only does he offer elegant and innovative problem-solving solutions, but he also helps everyone on the team learn and grow.

Vil is among the most amazing colleagues I've ever had the pleasure to work with. He excels at writing clean and efficient code and mentoring others to do the same. His clear, structured thinking makes it super easy to follow along with his thought process, yet he is extremely creative in bringing up new ideas to improve code, product and processes. For many product features and technical novelties in our current product, Vil was the first one to bring the idea forward. He is also an amazingly fun coworker and will be able to cheer up any team with his clever jokes and fun, easy going attitude. I can recommend Vil for any sort of technical position, he'll be a very strong asset to any team, and I would hire him again without any hesitation.

When possible, self-care solutions are automatically proposed to the customer, allowing automated problem solving. Futher projects include entity extraction for chatbots, video-upscaling using GANs, topic detection, keyphrase extraction, speech to text.
