# Ali Kutluözen M.Sc. > Senior Software Engineer building the MOST sophisticated autonomy stack in agriculture! Location: New York City Metropolitan Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/alikutluzenmsc "Ars longa, vita brevis." Software engineering meets arts and science. With a decade of software engineering experience, I am passionate about creating digital solutions that solve real-life problems. As a senior software engineer at John Deere, I build tools and applications that enable our teams to work efficiently and our tractors to excel at autonomy. I use TypeScript, Node.js, React.js, NestJS, Python, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, GraphQL, AWS, and Git as my main technologies for front-end and back-end development, code management, and deployment. Additionally, as an artificial intelligence graduate and researcher, I have expertise in machine learning, artificial intelligence, and robotics. I use Python with TensorFlow, Keras, NumPy, Scikit-learn, OpenCV, Pillow, ROS, and Pandas to create ML models and intelligent home robotics. I also make comicbooks (with a passion!), occasionally work on game development, graphic and video design, and music production as a freelancer. For these, I use Procreate, Unity 3D, Game Maker Studio, Blender 3D, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, Acoustica Mixcraft, and Logic Pro. My artistic, curious, and logical nature constantly pushes me to learn, test, analyze, and stay sharp. As a perfectionist, I take pride in every project I touch. Looking forward to connecting with you all! ## Work Experience ### Senior Software Engineer @ John Deere Jan 2022 – Present | Santa Clara, California, United States We are developing innovative solutions that drive the future of agriculture through automation.
