  • Apply statistical methods, hypothesis testing, causal inference where appropriate, and robust validation (cross-validation, holdouts, calibration, fairness testing) to ensure reliable, defensible results.

  • Design and operationalize NLP/LLM solutions for HR use cases (resume parsing, candidate experience, employee feedback analysis) while enforcing privacy, data minimization and explainability requirements.
