At IQVIA she progressed from AI Engineer to Senior ML Engineer, shipping production models that bridge research-driven language understanding and product needs. Known for combining rigorous experimental methods with practical engineering, she brings a rare blend of academic depth in human language and hands-on deployment experience in industry-scale ML systems.
