What I'm looking for

I seek research-focused roles building deployable NLP/LLM systems, collaborative teams, mentorship opportunities, and impact through production deployments and publications.

I am an AI/ML research scientist with 3+ years of experience in Natural Language Processing, Large Language Models, and Conversational AI, focused on building state-of-the-art models for summarization, humor detection, and recommendation systems.

I have a strong publication record with high citation impact (examples include QMSum and LLM zero-shot recommendation work) and have developed neural architectures leveraging transformers, retrieval, and multimodal methods for production-scale applications.

My industry and research experience includes deploying models to serve millions of users with low latency, creating large annotated datasets, and contributing open-source tools used by hundreds of researchers.

I teach and mentor, organize workshops, and serve on program committees; I seek roles where I can advance research into deployable NLP and conversational systems while mentoring teams and collaborating across engineering and product functions.
