What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities to leverage my linguistic expertise in AI, focusing on innovative projects that enhance natural language processing capabilities.

I am a dedicated linguist with over 5 years of experience in linguistic analysis and research, particularly in the realm of artificial intelligence. My academic background includes a Master of Arts in Linguistics from the University of Delaware, where I focused on Computational Linguistics and Syntax. My thesis analyzed syntactic structures in natural language processing, laying a strong foundation for my career in AI.

In my current role as a Linguistic Researcher at Fiverr, I conduct in-depth research for AI model benchmarking, focusing on language data analysis and natural language processing tasks. I have a proven ability to synthesize information from diverse sources to assess AI model performance and suggest improvements. My experience as a freelance linguist and research assistant has further honed my skills in linguistic data collection, processing, and analysis, allowing me to contribute effectively to cutting-edge AI innovations.
