I build multilingual NLP tools for low-resource language data.

What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a full-time NLP, machine learning, or data engineering role focused on low-resource and multilingual NLP, LLM applications, text embeddings and similarity, or digital humanities. I'm open to hybrid and remote roles across Europe.

I've developed and updated Tibetan named entity recognition tools for SOAS University of London, including UI-integrated, documented, and publicly repository-ready implementations.

At Leipzig University and the Austrian Academy of Sciences, I've catalogued entities across Tibetan works, generated spaCy training data with Gemini and Claude, and built normalization workflows for divergent spellings and OCR text.

My work spans Python, spaCy, embeddings, information retrieval, keyword extraction, and deployable Docker tools. I'm seeking full-time NLP, machine learning, or data engineering work in multilingual and low-resource language technology.

Jun 2025 - Sep 2025 (3 months)

- Development of NER for modern Tibetan, using Claude Anthropic to develop training data and spaCy to carry out data extraction
- Export of NER data extracted from the Project corpus into a user-friendly format such as a .csv file, including a reference to the source for each data item and preserving significant co-occurrences (such as name+position or name+associated slogan) where possible
- Cons

The followings are my tasks:
- NER (Named Entity Recognition): Collect available lists of named entities in Tibetan, including personal and place names.
- spaCy training data: Produce a script to create training data in modern Tibetan for a Tibetan language model for spaCy. (Usually one needs a dataset whose entries are manually annotated, but we would like
