Experience
Director of Applied Research - Speech Recognition
Sep 2024 — Present · San Diego, CA, US
I lead applied research at the intersection of AI, speech science, and early childhood development, with a focus on supporting children with speech delays. Our work integrates state-of-the-art speech recognition models with classical acoustic analysis to build real-time, phoneme-level pronunciation feedback learning games. I manage a multidisciplinary team of engineers, data scientists, and physicists to design and deploy hybrid models that are clinically relevant, scalable, and developmentally appropriate. Our goal: to empower every child to find their voice through intelligent, inclusive, and interactive learning technology.
