About me
Data scientist who specializes in NLP, Computational Linguistic techniques, and the implementation of LLM-based Generative AI strategies. I am passionate about bringing my Linguistic knowledge and Computer Science skills together to provide creative solutions to real-world problems.
I have hands-on professional experience building AI-powered applications such as RAG chatbots from scratch. My work includes architecting AI systems, designing optimized LLM prompts, implementing guardrails, and developing evaluation datasets and methodologies to measure performance.
Before joining the private sector, I completed a Ph.D in Linguistics at the University at Buffalo, where I worked on the linguistic analysis of typing patterns.
My dissertation focused on the linguistic analysis of typing patterns, with the aim of understanding the relationship between how someone types and what they are typing. I am interested in how one can use computational techniques to investigate production in time in order to better understand the production processes at play and how they are influenced by the linguistic characteristics of the language being typed.
Alongside my technical work, I'm an experienced public speaker and educator. I've given talks and conference presentations across Europe and the United States on topics ranging from bias in speech models to evaluation frameworks for generative AI. and I regularly speak at tech and academic events to bridge the gap between research and practice.
