👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJiajie Yan is a Senior NLP Engineer with nine years of experience building production NLP and ML systems, currently applying cutting-edge AI to legal workflows at Clearbrief. Trained as a computational linguist, he has led end-to-end projects from linguistic analysis and NLG to deployment as microservices, with hands-on experience in Spacy, Elasticsearch, embeddings, Pinecone, and prompt engineering. He is the creator of Jiayan, the first open-source Classical Chinese NLP library on PyPI, which uniquely addresses under-resourced language tasks like tokenization and POS tagging and has seen adoption in both industry and academia. Comfortable bridging research and product, he has built dialogue systems, recommendation and QA pipelines, and humor-generation modules that combine linguistics with ML. Based in Los Angeles, he brings a rare hybrid background—formal linguistics, software engineering, and even speech/audio production—that informs robust, linguistically grounded NLP solutions.
