Senior🎓
Top SchoolMiguel Won is an NLP Data Scientist and team leader at Axians Portugal with a decade of experience applying state-of-the-art NLP and ML to customer support pipelines and research projects. He blends rigorous academic training—a PhD in Particle Physics and postdoctoral work building annotated text corpora—with hands-on engineering, deploying transformer-based systems, semantic search, and RAG-enabled chatbots in production. Comfortable across the stack, he leverages tools like Hugging Face transformers, sentence-transformers, OpenAI API, FastAPI, Docker and Gradio to turn prototypes into scalable services. His research background includes supervising manual annotation, building web archives and social media data collection pipelines, giving him a strong grounding in data curation and task design that improves model robustness. An electronics hobbyist who prototypes with Arduino/Raspberry Pi and designs PCBs, he brings practical curiosity and systems thinking to ML problems. As a leader he emphasizes collaborative, cross-disciplinary teams that translate cutting-edge LLM advances into usable, impactful solutions.
