About Me

I am a freelance applied AI researcher (PhD) with 20+ years of hands-on experience in NLP, generative AI, and machine learning across both industry and academia.

I have worked in research institutes (IBM Research AI, Xerox Research), startups, and large corporations, delivering AI projects from early research and system design to production deployment in domains including legal, finance, sports, and healthcare/biomedical.

I also have nearly 10 years of experience leading teams, mentoring junior researchers and engineers, and co-supervising graduate students.

I hold a PhD in Computer Science specializing in NLP and completed 3.5 years of postdoctoral research. I am the author of multiple patents and around 40 publications in leading venues (Google Scholar: 4,500+ citations; h-index: 23).
