Experience

Data Science Analyst

LightBox

Engineered and deployed a proprietary NLP pipeline in Python to transform 500+ page documents into structured 50-point summaries, dramatically reducing manual review time and enabling faster, more informed decision-making.

  • Built and deployed NLP/ML workflows to convert unstructured documents into standardized, actionable outputs.
  • Recovered roughly an entire workday per document processed through automation and iterative workflow improvements.
  • Iterated based on user feedback and evolving requirements; collaborated with teammates to improve algorithms and AI workflows.
  • Led and mentored new interns through project development and delivery.
