Also implemented entity resolution with fuzzy matching and semantic linking using BERT sentence-transformer embeddings stored in FAISS, including fine-tuning on labeled pairs to improve search/linking relevance.”

“Customer-facing technical professional with experience spanning engineering and product who advises on application security tradeoffs (threat modeling, API/auth risks, SOC2 mapping) and drives pragmatic remediation plans. Hands-on with Kubernetes/CI-CD agent integrations, secrets management, and log-driven troubleshooting; documented and escalated complex customer environment issues and reported a 40% reduction in bug reporting through workflow automation.”

“Built an Arduino-based obstacle-avoiding robot using sonar/laser sensors and improved performance from 0.60 to 0.87 accuracy through sensor-fusion thresholding and iterative tuning. In an internship, optimized a legal-document NLP pipeline by switching to a distilled/quantized transformer and offloading inference to a GPU-backed Flask service, cutting inference time by 40%+ without added infrastructure spend.”

“Has worked at a startup within an incubator program and is a certified mentor with a startup mentorship non-profit focused on early-stage/pre-funded companies. Not currently seeking to found a company or take equity-only roles, but open to working at very early-stage companies (pre-launch/pre-revenue/pre-funded).”
