Work experience

Data Science Fellow
since 07.2025 - Till the present day |Chicago Education Advocacy Cooperative
NLP, RAGs, LLMs
● Building an LLM-powered explainer tool using RAGs to extract and simplify Medicaid/SNAP policy updates into multilingual summaries, improving benefits access for underserved communities. ● Developing a caseworker co-pilot to support staff in summarizing beneficiary case notes and prioritizing outreach using NLP pipelines and synthetic case simulations, reducing administrative burden in public benefit programs.
Data Science Intern
03.2025 - 05.2025 |Clark University
Python, SQL, XGBoost, ANN
● Analyzed Privacy-compliant data from 50,000+ students to identify key retention patterns using Python and SQL. ● Engineered machine learning pipelines to predict student outcomes with AUC up to 0.93, informing policy decisions. ● Collaborated across academic and technical teams to translate exploratory findings into actionable recommendations. ● Documented the complete analytical workflow including data preparation, modeling, and ethical safeguards and co-authored a research paper to enable reproducibility and adoption by other higher education institutions.
