At Google via Qualitest, I developed, tested, and implemented visual UI updates for new Google Search features. I also managed backend settings and configurations to support the frontend functionality.

My research focuses on Romanian-language NLP. For my master's project, I developed a grammar error corrector using a T5Large model and data augmentation, achieving an F0.5 score of 80% and surpassing the stated previous state of the art by 20%.
