Experience

I interned twice at Google (Mountain View) in 2013 where I worked on feature selection methods. Early 2014 I interned at Facebook in London with their Security Infrastructure team. During Summer 2014 I interned at Google again in New York with the Speech team where I worked on language modeling. During the Summer of 2016, I interned at Apple in Cupertino where I worked on language modeling. Early 2017 I interned with Microsoft Bing and Research in London, working on query formulation in the email domain. During Summer 2017, I interned with Snap Inc.'s search team where I worked on semantic matching. On November 17, 2017, I successfully defended my PhD!

From November 2014 to April 2018, I was a member of the Information and Language Processing Systems group at the University of Amsterdam.

I'm currently working at Apple as a research scientist on the Siri speech language modeling team.
