About

ML/NLP practitioner with a master’s thesis focused on domain-adaptive knowledge distillation for LLMs (LLaMA2/sheared LLaMA), showing improved perplexity and ROUGE-L on biomedical data. Also built real-world data linking and search systems: integrated ClinicalTrials.gov with FAERS using fuzzy matching + embeddings, and delivered an LLM-powered FAQ recommender at Hyperledger using sentence-transformers, FAISS, and fine-tuning to mitigate embedding drift.

Key Strengths

  • Built domain-adaptive knowledge distillation pipeline for LLMs using Hugging Face/PyTorch/FSDP
  • Demonstrated measurable NLP improvements (reduced domain perplexity, improved ROUGE-L)
  • Designed multi-stage entity resolution workflow across ClinicalTrials.gov and FAERS using fuzzy matching + spaCy
  • Validation strategy combining string similarity, embedding comparison, and targeted manual review with tiered confidence bands
  • Built LLM-powered FAQ recommendation system using sentence-transformer embeddings + FAISS similarity search
  • Addressed embedding drift by fine-tuning on curated QA pairs
  • Production-minded data engineering practices: modular stages, testability, and automated validation checks with logging
