About

I build ML systems
that understand
language at scale.

Currently at The Stepstone Group, where I lead semantic search and personalization for EU job platforms — serving millions of queries daily with sub-100ms inference.

I specialize in the hard part: fine-tuning multilingual transformer models for production, designing evaluation frameworks that catch real regressions, and applying causal inference to ship with confidence.

Previously a Research Fellow at IDIAP Research Institute (EU-funded AI4Media), and a Data Scientist at EY. MS in Artificial Intelligence from the University of Southampton.

Semantic
Search
Systems

Building retrieval engines that understand meaning, not just keywords. Sub-100ms inference at millions of daily queries across EU job platforms — maintaining nDCG@10 within 1% of full-precision baselines.

Agentic
Feedback System

A LangGraph workflow that turns noisy product reports into high-signal tickets. Structured output schemas, PII redaction at the client, LangSmith traces on every run, deployed on AWS Lambda — engineers can reproduce issues in seconds, not days.

Relevance &
Ranking

Causal inference for ranking policy evaluation. Regression discontinuity designs that reduced false-positive regressions by ~30%, supporting launches with 2–4% uplift in application starts.
