About

Built and shipped open-source LLM/RAG systems, including a generative AI assistant grounded on ~30,000 scraped university web pages, improving response accuracy ~30% by moving from TF-IDF-only retrieval to a hybrid sentence-transformer approach with fallback controls. Also partnered with non-technical leadership at Securi.ai to deliver real-time predictive analytics dashboards (Elasticsearch + Jira/ServiceNow) that reduced project overhead by 18%.

Key Strengths

  • Built and deployed a RAG-style generative AI assistant over ~30,000 scraped web pages to reduce faculty email load
  • Diagnosed retrieval-driven irrelevance (TF-IDF keyword mismatch) and improved accuracy ~30% via sentence-transformer embeddings + hybrid retrieval + fallback controls
  • Hands-on LangChain orchestration (custom chains, vector DB retrieval, prompt pipelines, confidence-based fallback logic)
  • Structured approach to agent/workflow reliability: scoping intents, modular unit tests (retrievers/prompts), manual QA, and A/B testing when feasible
  • Delivered predictive analytics dashboards with non-technical leadership; co-designed KPIs and translated technical concepts into business outcomes
  • Quantified business impact: reduced project overhead by 18% and improved client satisfaction via Elasticsearch dashboards + Jira/ServiceNow data + alerting
