As a passionate linguist and translator, I have dedicated my career to exploring the intricacies of language and its applications in technology. With extensive experience as a Language Teaching Expert at Duolingo, I have honed my skills in translating app interfaces, blog articles, and marketing content, ensuring that language learners have a seamless experience. My work also involves collaborating on text-to-speech generation and revision, which has deepened my understanding of language processing.

My journey in computational linguistics began during my time at Two Impulse, where I contributed to chatbot creation using Natural Language Processing. This experience, combined with my academic background as a PhD student in Natural Language Processing at Universitat Pompeu Fabra, has equipped me with a robust understanding of the relationship between prosody and rhetorical relations, enhancing my ability to improve speech synthesis expressiveness. I am committed to advancing the field of linguistics through research and practical applications.
