At RWS Group, I support the development and fine-tuning of AI/ML models through data annotation, labeling, and validation. I also work on natural language processing and multimodal tasks, evaluating outputs and applying human-in-the-loop methods to maintain dataset quality.

At the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, I collaborated on a remote sensing and GIS sustainability strategy for protected areas and designed biodiversity conservation plans for more than 20 areas. I processed multi-temporal Landsat and Sentinel-2 data and implemented nature-based solutions to support biodiversity and climate resilience.

At Gallipoli Peninsula Historical National Park, I led conservation strategies for protected historical and natural sites, integrating biodiversity and cultural heritage preservation. My work also included ecological assessments and GIS training for park rangers.
