I'm an AI researcher and machine-learning engineer with a Master's in Automated Reasoning Systems and Artificial Intelligence. My work sits between method and engineering: I have published on efficient sparse attention, and my thesis diagnosed and fixed a hidden failure in language-model embeddings using a self-supervised contrastive objective. I care most about finding the real bottleneck in a system, designing a method for it, and reporting results plainly, including where my methods lose. I'm comfortable across the full path from an idea to reproducible experiments and working code, mainly in NLP, LLMs, and retrieval. I'm now looking for research and ML engineering roles where careful method design meets real problems.
