About

Applied LLMs and a graph-RAG architecture in Neo4j to automate an accounting firm's cross-checking of transactional books against tax regulations, indexing 1,000+ pages into a knowledge graph with vector search. Combines agentic LLM workflows with classical NER (Hugging Face/NLTK) and validates using expert-labeled held-out data plus precision/recall and measured accountant time savings after deployment.

Key Strengths

  • Built graph-based RAG system indexing 1,000+ pages of tax regulations for transaction compliance checks
  • Validated ML/NLP solutions with offline metrics (precision/recall) plus real-world time-savings measurement post-deployment
  • Designed entity extraction + deduplication pipeline using LLM agents and classical NER as a second pipeline
  • Used human domain-expert (accountant) labeled held-out set to benchmark entity resolution via IR metrics
  • Production-minded Python workflow design using functional programming principles and automation for maintainability
  • Scalability approach leveraging cloud horizontal scaling (AWS) and Kubernetes orchestration
