I work on speech and machine learning, with a background in software engineering. I’m currently a research assistant at RWTH Aachen and an M.Sc. Data Science student.

My work spans speech recognition on analog hardware, speaker diarization, and training speaker recognition models. Before moving to Aachen, I worked on applied ML and software at ZS.

I worked on speaker recognition and diarization: identifying speakers and determining who spoke when in a recording. This involved training models, experimenting with training data and clustering methods, and evaluating the results. I also worked on the software and experiment pipelines around these models.

ZS Associates

Decision Analytics Associate / Associate Consultant · Aug 2022–Jul 2024

I worked on machine learning applications for document processing, question answering, and healthcare analytics. My work included using language models to organize and retrieve information from documents, and building predictive models from healthcare and sales data.

OurNet

Software Development · Sep 2021–Jan 2022

I developed municipal web tools and a social network frontend, and maintained deployment pipelines.

GetBoarded

Software Development · Nov 2020–Sep 2021

I built web applications and a career recommendation system, working across frontend and backend development.
