Asya Frumkin
Asya Frumkin is an algorithm developer and team lead, specializing in computer vision. She is also a proud Albino and visually impaired from birth. However, her disability never stopped her and gave her the irresistible drive to make a real impact. After building models in the automotive and medical imaging industries, it was fairly natural for her to join Evinced, a startup focused on improving digital accessibility. At Evinced she is responsible for end-to-end data solutions that help people like her take an equal part in the online world.
Sessions
