BasisTech's Rosette Text Analytics platform was acquired by Babel Street in December 2022.- Extended existing Babel Insights application by incorporating OpenAI chat capabilities to allow conversational question/answer user experience. (Python, FastAPI, Langchain, Docker, AWS)- Created prototype full-stack application using LLMs to extract insights from news articles about named person entities posing risks for criminal behavior. (React.js, Typescript, Python, FastAPI, Langchain, Docker, AWS)

Somerville, Massachusetts, Us

Supported customers of multilingual text analytics solutions.- Developed a web application for adverse media monitoring using entity extraction and linking and neural networks for textual entailment (React.js, JavaScript, Python, Flask, HuggingFace, GCP).- Worked on a web application to accelerate sales by showcasing capabilities of BasisTech’s fuzzy name matching technology. (React.js, TypeScript, Java, Docker, Elasticsearch, Postgres, AWS)- Interfaced with customers to develop customized solutions by training multi-level classifiers on customer data and building connectors for linking entities to customer database (Python, Elasticsearch)- Conducted competitive analysis comparing BasisTech’s technology to other products for named entity extraction, sentiment analysis, and fuzzy name matching. (Java, Python)

Burlington, Ma, Us

Developed models and databases for natural language understanding applications in mobile devices.- Developed and maintained a Solr-indexed rich content database for canonicalization of over 100 million media and point-of-interest entities in 20+ locales combining 75+ data sources.- Authored a Python engine for computing named-entity popularities and synonyms.

Burlington, Massachusetts, Us
