Understanding AI begins with understanding language
My work brings together linguistics, language technologies and human cognition to help learners see how intelligent systems process, represent and generate language.
◌
LANGUAGE
Linguistics & NLPUnderstand how language works and how machines represent, process and generate human language.
✦
AI
GenAI & LLMsGo beyond the hype to understand modern AI systems, evaluation, prompting and human–AI interaction.
From research to real-world AI
Where linguistic depth meets practical AI strategy
My background in Computational Linguistics spans machine translation, conversational AI, multilingual NLP, and GenAI evaluation. Today, I translate that deep technical foundation into high-impact training for the people building—and working alongside—AI.
