What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative role building software and AI/ML solutions (NLP/RAG/LLM-backed systems) with opportunities for hands-on development, learning, and impact.

I am a master's student in Software Systems Science and a software engineer focused on AI/ML, NLP, and backend systems. I have built RAG pipelines, human-in-the-loop labeling tools that reduced manual annotation by almost 60%, and AI-driven recommendation and prediction prototypes.

I bring practical experience with Python, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Hugging Face, FAISS, LangChain, and CI/CD tooling, and I have improved test automation and system reliability in production services. I seek collaborative roles where I can contribute to software development and scalable AI solutions while continuing to learn.
