I'm a PhD researcher who trains prediction models, adapts existing models to specific tasks, and builds tools that answer questions from documents. My experience includes demand forecasting for retail and contract analysis covering more than 15 types of clauses. I work across data preparation, model evaluation, and the software that brings these pieces together. For contract review, that also meant linking answers to the original text so people could check the evidence themselves.

Data Scientist — Document Processing & Information Retrieval

  • Built and evaluated the machine learning pipeline that parses and classifies legal documents, covering the data preparation, model training, and evaluation work distinct from the language-model side of the project.
  • Adapted large pretrained language models to the legal domain to answer questions across 15+ types of clauses in multi-page leases, land agreements, and amendments, tracing every answer back to its source so reviewers could check the evidence themselves.

Research Scientist II

  • Fine-tuned LLMs (Llama-3-8B, Mistral-7B) using QLoRA/FSDP, achieving 95% of full fine-tuning performance with 99% fewer parameters.
  • Accelerated model deployment by 40% via Docker containerization and AWS (ECR/ECS) with automated CI/CD pipelines.

MetaphorPrompt2—A Structure and Function-Focused Approach for Extracting Causal Events from Biological Text

Introduces MetaphorPrompt2, which improves molecular regulatory pathway extraction from biomedical literature by emphasizing structural relations and functional roles of biological entities rather than surface-level grammar. Integrates five components that reduce parsing complexity and mitigate error propagation, achieving a 31% improvement in edge-prediction F1 over the no-metaphor baseline.

MetaphorPrompt: An Analogical Reasoning Approach for Extracting Causal Links from Biological Text

Introduces MetaphorPrompt, a novel approach using GPT-4 to generate metaphors that map biological processes onto real-world scenarios, improving extraction of molecular regulatory pathways from biomedical literature. Tested on the reguloGPT dataset; achieves improved precision, recall, and F1 scores in causal event link prediction via analogical reasoning and in-context learning.
