I work on natural language processing, from author profiling to humor generation. In January 2027 I start my PhD at the Université de Montréal and Mila, supervised by Ayla Rigouts Terryn.
I've built in-car voice assistants, LLM chatbots and RAG systems, and I currently automate internal processes with AI at LIQID in Berlin.
