# Cosmin Marian Paduraru
Python backend engineer building computer vision tools to solve quirky real-world problems.

## About

Cosmin Marian Paduraru builds backend systems with a focus on Python. He treats programming as a practical tool for untangling unconventional problems.

His work frequently dips into computer vision. He recently experimented with Hough Transforms and SIFT to catalog his childhood collection of 400 unique bottle caps, carefully optimizing the backend to keep hosting costs down.

When he isn't writing Python, you can find him exploring procedural generation or designing indie video games.
