Intern Software Engineer specializing in machine learning and backend systems

Leesburg, VA1y exp

“Built an AI-powered medical coding system at Clinpex that mapped 88,000+ clinical terms to standardized codes, achieving about 86% accuracy and cutting manual review time by over 80%. Brings hands-on backend ownership in a healthcare AI setting, with experience using semantic retrieval, LLM validation, and human review to handle ambiguity and reliability in a regulated domain.”

“Built and deployed LLM-powered agentic systems including a multi-agent travel planning assistant using LangChain, RAG (FAISS), real-time APIs, and a supervisor agent to manage coordination and reduce hallucinations. Also developed a Text-to-SQL system with schema-aware validation guardrails, and collaborated with drilling domain experts at CNPC USA to build an ML model predicting rate of penetration (ROP).”

“LLM/agentic systems engineer who built a production "Agentic AI Diagnostic Assistant" for network engineers, using a multi-agent Llama 2 + LangChain architecture with RAG over telemetry/incident data in DynamoDB and confidence-based deferrals to reduce hallucinations. Also has strong MLOps/orchestration experience (Airflow, EventBridge, Spark, Docker, SageMaker/ECS) at multi-terabyte/day scale and delivered multilingual NLP analytics (fine-tuned BERT/spaCy) for support operations through hands-on stakeholder workshops.”
