About

ML/GenAI engineer with recent CVS Health experience building a production RAG system over unstructured financial/research documents using LangChain, FAISS, and Pinecone, plus LoRA/PEFT fine-tuning of GPT/LLaMA for domain-aware summarization. Demonstrates strong applied MLOps and data engineering skills (Airflow/Prefect, Docker/Kubernetes, CI/CD, MLflow) and measurable impact (sub-second retrieval, ~40% better context retrieval, ~25% entity matching improvement).

Key Strengths

  • Built RAG pipeline (LangChain + FAISS + Pinecone) to reduce analyst document review time
  • Fine-tuned LLMs (GPT/LLaMA) with LoRA/PEFT in PyTorch for domain-specific summarization
  • Improved reliability by mitigating hallucinations via context validation using Sentence-BERT
  • Scaled semantic retrieval with FAISS/Pinecone optimization and async retrieval to sub-second latency
  • Designed entity resolution pipeline using fuzzy matching + LightGBM; validated with precision/recall/F1
  • Improved duplicate matching accuracy by ~25% in multi-system customer/product data
  • Improved context retrieval/search relevance by ~40% using embeddings + vector DB + fine-tuning
  • Production-grade data workflow practices: orchestration (Airflow/Prefect), containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), CI/CD, testing, MLflow
