About Gjorgji

I am a person. I spent my childhood disasembling my family’s electronic devices, fixing stuff for people in my hometown and avoiding learning about history by maintaining the computer infrasrtucture of my high school. Consequently, my deep curiocity for the world of technology led me to graduate in Software Engineering at the Faculty for Computer Science and Engineering in Skopje in 2014. In order to know even more, I pursued a Masters degree in AI & Software Engineering at the same faculty, graduating 2015 in the top of my class. During my masters I had the opportunity to work on a few machine learning challenges that inspired me to do a PhD.

In 2017, I became a PhD candidate under supervision of Marcel Worring at the Informatics Institute in the Intelligent Sensory Information Systems group at the University of Amsterdam with a research focus is Multi-Task Deep Learning and Optimizations. I was developing methods for parameter space reduction and joint task optimization as well as common group formation between tasks. Over time I became increasingly curious about the persistance of knowledge in deep models and how to prevent information loss and increase density. My field of application was Visual Arts, so I spent a few years collaborating with the Rijksmuseum and working on their collection. Graduated in 2022 with a bunch of publications you can find on my Google Scholar.

While I was preparing my thesis in 2021, I had an opportunity to design and build one of the first systems converting retail stores into fullfilment points for reducing CO2 emissions from e-commerce. This is how StoreShippers was born, and I became the Chief Technology Officer. We deployed and scaled our application stack for global coverage operating in Europe, Asia and North America.
