My expertise lies in training language and voice recognition models, deploying cross-platform applications, and delivering data-driven solutions. I am proficient in Python, Java, and Natural Language Processing, and I have a strong track record of enhancing speech recognition accuracy and improving learner outcomes through innovative teaching methods.

Throughout my career, I have collaborated with teams of ML engineers to fine-tune NLP models, ensuring high-quality deliverables under tight deadlines. I have also developed and optimized Python-based prompts for AI-driven tools, contributing to the success of multiple AI product pipelines. My passion for education is reflected in my role as a certified English instructor, where I have conducted over 100 international virtual lessons, significantly boosting student engagement and learning outcomes.
