Case studies

The problem comes before the tool.

Detailed accounts of how I frame a problem, test the important assumptions, make trade-offs, and respond to what the evidence reveals.

Case Study

Respondent digital twins: when the model remembered more and predicted less

A student research case study that built a leakage-aware benchmark to test whether a person's survey history could be compressed into model weights well enough to predict unseen answers.

What it shows: A good experiment should be able to stop an attractive idea. The useful result was not a digital twin; it was a benchmark, a failure diagnostic, and a better next decision.

Case Study

Making context reviewable in GenAI translation validation

An anonymized discovery pilot exploring how structured study context, deterministic checks, and human judgment can make AI-assisted translation review more useful.

What it shows: In a GenAI system, more context is not automatically better. The useful move is to make the decisive context visible, test whether it changes the judgment, and protect exact rules with code.

A note on scope

Most of my professional work comes from confidential, long-running operations. I use that experience to explain how I think without exposing private systems, data or source code.
