I am a Costa Rican PhD researcher at CNRS and Université de Lorraine, focused on generative AI and multilingual natural language processing. My work centers on making language technologies more inclusive, with an emphasis on multilingual text generation and evaluation. I have published at major conferences like ACL, INLG, and IJCNLP/AACL. Through those publications I have contributed open-source tools and models to the NLP community, including work on Hierarchical QLoRA Training (HQL) and reference-less semantic evaluation for low-resource languages.
My journey started early, from coding as a kid to studying both computer science and languages. I’ve always been drawn to the intersection of language, technology, and communication, and I care deeply about democratizing AI for more people and languages. Alongside research, I enjoy teaching and mentoring, whether guiding students in programming and data science or volunteering to help young people broaden their horizons. When I’m not working, you will likely find me reading, studying new languages, playing board games, or stargazing. I value collaboration, flexibility, and the patient pursuit of meaningful progress, and I’m always eager to join teams driven by good ideas and positive impact.
