What I do
Machine learning & NLP
Transformer pipelines, feature-engineered prediction models, and the evaluation work to know when they actually help.
Full-stack engineering
Next.js, TypeScript, and Prisma apps that put models on a screen — this site included, down to the arcade and the admin.
Data & analytics
Python, SQL, and R, from raw corpus to a dashboard someone can use without a walkthrough.
