About me

Portrait of Nellie

Grounded in production. Driven by results.

Hi—I'm Nellie.

I work at the intersection of applied machine learning, data science, and software engineering.

I'm completing an M.S. in Computer Science at Georgia Tech with a specialization in Artificial Intelligence, expected December 2026. My graduate work spans AI/ML, data, algorithms, HCI, and systems. Graduate coursework

My applied work includes predictive modeling, NLP and sequence models, multimodal learning, retrieval-augmented generation, and structured LLM workflows. Across these projects, I emphasize baselines, model comparison, error analysis, reproducibility, and clear system boundaries.

Before graduate school, I worked on Java microservices for JPMorgan Chase's real-time payments platform, contributing to API contracts, automated testing, CI workflows, release readiness, operational documentation, and production support. Earlier, as an ML Research Assistant, I built and evaluated predictive and clustering models on behavioral survey data using Python and R and presented the results to faculty and students.
