About

I’m an East Asia–focused analyst specializing in CJK information environments, OSINT, and language-driven analysis. My work focuses on how political narratives are constructed and disseminated across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean media ecosystems.I combine training in International Relations (intelligence, security, diplomacy) and Linguistics with applied experience in Python-based text analysis (spaCy, SudachiPy, Pandas) and NLP workflows. My research includes a presentation on Japanese tokenization at Arizona State University’s Graduate Linguistics Symposium.I am currently developing projects analyzing multilingual political discourse and information operations across East Asian contexts, with a focus on identifying patterns in narrative framing, keyword usage, and cross-lingual differences.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
