Professional Summary
Ph.D. in Computational Linguistics specialized in Natural Language Processing, Large Language Models, and intelligent multi-agent systems. My research focuses on cognitive agents, orchestration architectures, and knowledge representation through ontologies and graph-based representations, integrating structured knowledge with LLMs to support more reliable reasoning and decision-making. I work extensively with frameworks such as LangGraph and LangChain, and I actively explore open-source ecosystems including Hugging Face and Ollama for the development of scalable LLM-based applications. My expertise also includes advanced prompt engineering, agent coordination, and the design of structured AI systems capable of complex reasoning, planning, and inter-agent communication.

Senior Research and Development Scientist
Activa Digital
As Senior Research and Development Scientist, I focus on the design of cognitive agents and multi-agent architectures for advanced AI applications. My work combines LLM orchestration, knowledge representation, and structured reasoning, with particular attention to graph-based knowledge integration and symbolic–subsymbolic approaches within intelligent systems. I also contribute to research planning, experimental design, and innovation-oriented R&D activities.
- Leading R&D team efforts and collaborating on grant procurement and experimental design
- Development of cognitive agents and multi-agent systems using LangGraph and LangChain frameworks.
- Design of orchestration and coordination patterns for LLM-based architectures to enable complex reasoning, planning, and inter-agent communication.
- Utilizing tools like Protégé and Neo4j for knowledge representation and symbolic–subsymbolic integration.
- Integration of ontologies and graph-based representations to improve reasoning capabilities and decision-making processes in AI systems.

Computational Linguist, Software Analyst, and Front-End Developer
Luo
At Luo, I worked across computational linguistics, software analysis, and front-end development, contributing to both NLP-oriented research activities and application development. My role involved linguistic resource creation, evaluation of NLP pipelines, ontology engineering, and the development of mobile and web-based solutions.
- Mobile application development with Flutter and web application development with Angular.
- Development and management of ontological resources using OWL, XML, and JSON.
- Evaluation of NLP tools such as lemmatizers, POS taggers, and syntactic parsers, and the creation of linguistic corpora and electronic dictionaries.
