Profile

I build and evaluate LLM agent systems and multilingual, multimodal AI, with a focus on the infrastructure that makes them reliable: agent architectures, evaluation frameworks, and human-in-the-loop pipelines. My work spans text and speech systems, translating behavioral and cognitive science into practical AI for real-world deployment.
