I build systems that understand language — from cross-lingual euphemism detection to production RAG pipelines. MS in Computational Linguistics from Montclair State, AI/ML specialization. Published at ACL and EACL. Interested in how meaning fails to transfer: euphemism, sarcasm, framing — the places language models tend to miss.
My research sits at the intersection of NLP and cross-lingual transfer — specifically, how meaning shifts across languages in subtle, culturally-loaded ways. Euphemism, sarcasm, framing: the things language models tend to miss.
Published work covers euphemism detection in Turkish and English, sarcasm in sitcom dialogue, and cross-lingual transfer with transformer models. I've presented at ACL-affiliated venues and managed multilingual annotation pipelines end-to-end.
Outside research, I build: production RAG systems, AWS-deployed models, full-stack NLP tools from training script to web UI. Currently targeting industry roles in AI, NLP, LLM fine-tuning, and applied research — while continuing to publish.
Actively looking for roles in NLP, ML, and AI engineering. If you're working on something interesting with language models or multilingual data, I'd love to hear from you.
