What I'm looking for

I seek product-focused roles applying ML/AI to student-facing tools at collaborative, fast-paced teams that value user research and measurable impact.

I am an AI-focused product professional who builds scalable, user-centered machine learning solutions to democratize career opportunity. I have led development of generative AI chatbots and recommendation engines, integrated OpenAI APIs into React applications, and ran user research with college students to iterate UX and boost engagement.

My background combines hands-on ML engineering (PyTorch, TensorFlow, Scikit-learn) with data analysis and product design skills—automating reporting, extracting actionable insights from large job-posting datasets, and shipping features in fast-paced, collaborative teams. I bring empathetic communication, cross-functional collaboration, and a results-driven approach to roles that bridge AI and student-facing product experiences.
