What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my linguistic expertise in AI and contribute to innovative projects that promote inclusivity and diversity.

I am a dedicated linguist with a PhD in Linguistics, currently working at KRUTRIM (OLA) where I focus on AI training and evaluation. My role involves developing high-quality, multilingual data for training large language models, ensuring linguistic diversity and cultural relevance, particularly in Indian languages. I collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate linguistic insights into machine learning models, enhancing their performance and accuracy.

My academic journey includes a PhD focused on the intersection of language and mental health, with a comparative study on writing deviations in Malayalam. I have also led research initiatives at Nest International Academy, where I worked with children with special needs, showcasing my commitment to education and advocacy. My presentations at various esteemed conferences reflect my passion for linguistics and my desire to contribute to the field through research and collaboration.
