About Me

Data Scientist and ML Engineer with 5+ years of experience building production systems that turn messy, unstructured data into reliable outcomes. I work across NLP pipelines, transformer-based classifiers, recommendation systems, and agentic AI — from knowledge graphs and RAG to multi-agent LangGraph systems. Currently based in Berlin, working on legal and financial document intelligence at Intapp.
