Work Experience

Senior AI Engineer at Typewise - ETH Zurich

From May 2022 to Present at Typewise - ETH Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland

As a Senior AI Engineer at Typewise (Y Combinator alumni), I work at the intersection of industry and academia through our collaboration with Prof. Ryan Cotterell's NLP lab at ETH Zurich. I lead the development of advanced text prediction and grammar correction systems, strategically balancing computational efficiency with model performance to create production-ready NLP solutions. My responsibilities include optimizing large language model integrations, architecting scalable AWS infrastructure, and ensuring robust deployment of our language technologies. Recently, I've been focusing on developing AI agents for customer care applications, leveraging cutting-edge libraries and frameworks to create responsive, context-aware solutions. Beyond technical leadership, I actively participate in strategic discussions with the founding team on product development, business growth, and organizational scaling, including talent acquisition and team development.

Data Scientist at EnergyWay

From Aug 2019 to Dec 2019 at EnergyWay, Part-time

During my final academic year, I worked part-time as a Data Scientist focusing on comprehensive data analysis and management. I leveraged Python's scientific ecosystem (Pandas, Scikit-learn, SciPy) to extract actionable insights from complex datasets while implementing AWS cloud technologies to create scalable storage solutions and automated processing workflows. This role allowed me to apply academic knowledge to real-world business challenges while developing enterprise-grade data solutions.
