I spent the last three years building ML tools that help maths tutors get better at helping kids learn. As a Sr. Research Software Engineer at Saga, I built an ML speech-processing pipeline (transcription, speaker diarization, video compositing) that allows tutors to review their sessions without distractions, LLM-based tools for giving them personalized and actionable feedback grounded in pedagogical research, and worked with university researchers studying what actually makes tutoring effective.
I’m currently exploring what’s next, so if you’re working on interesting problems in AI, education, or research tooling, I’d love to hear about it.
