I am a Prompt / ML Engineer with strong foundations in NLP, machine learning, and production AI systems. I design and deploy multi-step prompt workflows, retrieval-augmented generation pipelines (RAG), and structured-output LLM systems with a focus on reliability, guardrails, and real-world integration. My background combines hands-on engineering (Python, NLP libraries, APIs, SDKs) with system-level thinking, enabling me to build prompt-powered features that scale in production and remain aligned with product goals.

Work Experience

Linguistic Engineering Specialist at Peter & Clark
May 1, 2025 - Present
Designed and implemented a production-grade RAG-based QA pipeline integrating linguistic rules, curated knowledge bases, and constraint-driven prompts. Built multi-step prompt workflows instructing LLMs to act as precision validators rather than generators, significantly reducing false positives. Integrated LLM systems with memoQ via APIs and SDKs, ensuring compatibility with existing production tooling. Developed NLP components including NER-based anonymization (spaCy, Stanza), text validation, and classification logic. Performed systematic prompt and model debugging to improve reliability, scalability, and user trust.
Machine Translation Project Owner & NLP Specialist at Milengo
July 1, 2022 - Present
Designed and deployed NLP and ML components within Machine Translation and language QA systems. Built and evaluated text classification, quality estimation, and prompt-based workflows for production use. Worked hands-on with engineers to integrate NLP models and prompt logic into live systems. Optimized system performance through metric-driven iteration and controlled experimentation. Enhanced LLM translation evaluation with prompt engineering.
Linguist Project Manager at Argos Multilingual
August 1, 2020 - June 1, 2022
Managed AI and NLP data projects supporting supervised and unsupervised learning models. Translated technical NLP requirements into delivery plans, timelines, and quality criteria. Coordinated cross-functional teams and ensured data readiness for production systems.
Language Agnostic / Data Linguist at Google (QT)
October 1, 2018 - September 1, 2020
Contributed to NLP research and development improving search relevance and intent understanding. Worked on semantic search, query expansion, and Named Entity Recognition. Supported large-scale NLP systems through linguistic analysis, model evaluation, and iterative improvements.
Early Production & Managing Roles
January 1, 2006 - January 1, 2018
Delivered large-scale media and broadcast projects in fast-paced, high-pressure environments. Coordinated multidisciplinary teams, schedules, and stakeholders. Built strong foundations in delivery, communication, and operational execution.
