I'm an AI/ML engineer and NLP researcher specializing in automatic speech recognition (ASR), accent adaptation, and noise-robust deep learning systems. I recently graduated with a Bachelor of Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence) from Swinburne University of Technology (GPA 3.8/4.0 US scale, High Distinction) and hold an Associate of Science in Engineering from Highline College, Washington, USA.
I am the lead researcher and first author on three published/submitted papers in ASR, with all experimental design, model training, and evaluation done independently. My work has been recognized with a Best Paper Award at ICISN 2026 (Springer).
