Ismarji Workman

Coming from Atlanta, GA, Ismarji Workman brings a diverse background that spans both software engineering and the healthcare sector. Prior to her foray into tech, she spent six years in ophthalmology, excelling as an ophthalmic technician and surgery coordinator.

During her time with the 2023 Applied Data Institute program, Ismarji collaborated with her team and applied her industry knowledge in ophthalmology to develop an AI solution focused on addressing glaucoma detection. By leveraging neural networks to analyze fundus photos, the project aimed to measure the cup-to-disc ratio, providing a critical tool in the early detection of glaucoma. This initiative was born out of a recognition of the lack of eye disease screening resources in developing countries, fueling Ismarji's passion for using technology to tackle global healthcare challenges.

Now immersing herself in Java web development with a focus on Spring Boot, Ismarji envisions future collaborations with the Equitech alumni network. She welcomes the challenges of her evolving path with enthusiasm, fueled by a commitment to making a positive impact.Stay connected with Ismarji on LinkedIn to follow her journey and explore her projects on GitHub.
