What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining applied NLP research and AI engineering with opportunities to lead education and responsible AI security initiatives in collaborative, impact-driven teams.

I am an NLP researcher and AI engineer with a strong foundation in prompt engineering, AI security, and computational linguistics, grounded in a B.S. in Computer Science and B.A. in Linguistics from the University of Maryland.

I have directed educational strategy and curriculum at Learn Prompting, scaling the platform to over 3 million learners, led technical instruction for AI security at major tech firms, and managed large-scale events including HackAPrompt 2.0. My research contributions include co-authoring The Prompt Report and producing work on multilingual tokenization and ASR for an endangered language.

I build practical AI tools and research artifacts—developing LLM-powered tutoring and quiz generation that boosted engagement, algorithms for surfacing threatening language in multilingual data, and training state-of-the-art ASR models—while prioritizing clear pedagogy and responsible deployment.
