What I'm looking for

I seek roles applying prompt engineering and ML to real-world problems, in collaborative teams that value scientific rigor, model interpretability, and opportunities to grow in AI research.

I am a prompt engineer and AI researcher with a foundation in data-intensive astrophysics and computational physics. I combine scientific rigor with practical experience in LLMs, NLP, and prompt engineering to build reliable, explainable AI tools.

My work spans evaluating and refining model outputs, designing training and evaluation datasets, and applying prompt strategies to improve reasoning and accuracy. I have hands-on experience with PyTorch/TensorFlow, scikit-learn, and Bayesian inference for robust model development.

During my M.Sc. I performed high-dimensional data analysis and error estimation on astrophysical datasets, producing measurable scientific results and comparisons to prior studies. I also undertake independent open-source AI projects that summarise physics papers, generate simulation code, and visualise concepts.

I bring strong Python skills (NumPy, Pandas, SciPy), numerical methods, and a practical understanding of web technologies and cloud/DevOps fundamentals. I communicate technical results clearly and enjoy collaborating on interdisciplinary AI and scientific problems.
