What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my mathematics expertise in AI applications, with opportunities for growth and collaboration in innovative projects.

I am a Master’s-qualified Mathematics Specialist with over four years of experience in applied calculus, AI data annotation, and mathematical modeling. My expertise lies in training AI systems through meticulous error analysis, concept mapping, and dataset curation. I have a proven track record of improving AI solution accuracy by over 30% through precise labeling and validation.

In my current role as a Mathematics Data Annotator at MathWorks AI Solutions, I spearheaded the annotation of over 1,200 complex mathematical expressions, enhancing model accuracy by 35% for global clients in the education and engineering sectors. My collaborative work with NLP teams across the US and India has resulted in the design of cross-disciplinary concept maps that significantly enhance AI reasoning across various mathematical domains.

My academic background includes a Master of Science in Applied Mathematics from the University of Michigan, where I focused on optimizing neural network training through adaptive numerical PDE solvers. I have also developed impactful projects, such as an AI-driven crop yield prediction model for Kenyan farmers and a bilingual math tutor chatbot, showcasing my commitment to leveraging mathematics and AI for real-world applications.
