“Currently at Uplift AI shipping production LLM features that generate personalized growth insights from user reflections using BERT + embeddings + RAG, with strong safety/guardrail practices for sensitive contexts. Also built an end-to-end React Native UGC challenge submission/moderation system that improved repeat submissions and 7-day retention, and has applied rigorous clinical-style evaluation methods on a dental X-ray disease detection project to reduce false negatives.”

“Built a production-grade, semi-automated document recognition and classification system for large volumes of scanned PDFs, starting from little/no labeled data and handling highly variable scan quality. Deployed on AWS using SageMaker + Docker and orchestrated on EKS with a microservices design that scales CPU-heavy OCR separately from GPU inference, with strong reliability controls (validation, fallbacks, retries, readiness probes).”

“LLM/agentic AI builder who deployed a production ITSM automation agent on Google ADK integrating ServiceNow and FreshService, with strong safety guardrails (human-approval gating and runbook-only command execution) and rigorous evaluation (500 synthetic tickets; 80%+ false-positive reduction). Also partnered with finance to deliver an AI agent that automated invoice/SOW retrieval and monthly reporting to account managers, reducing manual back-and-forth.”

“Built and deployed a production-grade, multi-agent Text-to-SQL assistant that lets non-technical stakeholders query large enterprise databases in natural language. Uses Pinecone-based schema retrieval + LLM reasoning (Gemini/Claude/GPT) with a dedicated validation agent (schema/syntax checks and safe dry runs) to reduce hallucinations and improve reliability, while optimizing latency and cost via async execution and embedding caching.”
