About

I’m an East Asia–focused analyst specializing in CJK information environments, OSINT, and language‑driven analysis. I combine training in International Relations (intelligence, security, diplomacy) and Linguistics, supported by a certificate in Symbolic, Cognitive & Linguistic Systems.My work explores how language, media, and technology shape political narratives across Chinese, Korean, and Japanese contexts. I use tools from linguistics, cognitive systems, and NLP to analyze text, identify patterns, and support evidence‑based research in global security and tech.I have experience with Python (SudachiPy, spaCy, Pandas), SQL, and AI/LLM evaluation concepts, and I’ve presented research on Japanese tokenization at ASU’s Graduate Linguistics Symposium.I’m currently developing proficiency in Mandarin, Korean, and Japanese, and I have working proficiency in Spanish and reading proficiency in French, Italian, and Portuguese.I am currently seeking opportunities in:
• OSINT & information environment analysis
• East Asia geopolitical or risk analysis
• CJK‑focused LLM evaluation / linguistic QA
• Tech‑policy, AI governance, or language‑driven research
