Software Engineer · NLP & LLM Systems
AI Buddy Catalyst Labs, Ottawa · Previously Yugen Group, Birmingham
I build NLP systems and AI-native products — RAG pipelines, LLM evaluations, full-stack web apps. Currently at AI Buddy Catalyst Labs (Ottawa), shipping AI features for clients. My submitted research benchmarks how multilingual LLMs handle conflicts between parametric and contextual knowledge across 5 models. In public: open-source NLP tooling + consumer apps built with Next.js and LLMs.
