“I’ve always fancied the idea of contributing to something beneficial that can truly make a positive change (in science, society or environment). DeepSense helped me understand there are quite a lot of opportunities where I can use what I’m passionate about, computer science, while contributing to important matters such as energy conservation, identifying endangered aquatic animals, detecting illegal fishing, and such. Before, I had a stereotypical perspective that the ocean sector is only a place for marine biologists, but now I see that even I could help a bit with the skills I have (and hopefully improve) in programming and machine learning. So, I would definitely consider a career in this field in the future.”
