About

Built a university campus assistant chatbot (BabyJ/WWJ) using RAG and agentic routing with a FastAPI + React stack and JWT auth, focusing heavily on production concerns like latency and reliability. Uses techniques like speculative prefetching, smart intent routing, and rigorous eval/testing (golden sets, regression, edge cases) while collaborating closely with campus admin/advising teams to iterate based on real user feedback.

Key Strengths

  • Built an LLM-powered campus assistant chatbot with RAG + agent routing (FastAPI backend, React frontend, JWT auth)
  • Strong latency optimization approach (profiling, speculative prefetching on partial input, caching, cancellation/refresh)
  • Designs agent workflows with measurable success criteria and layered evaluation
  • Implements rigorous testing for AI systems (golden tests, edge cases, regression tests from real queries)
  • Pragmatic model/retrieval selection balancing accuracy, latency, and cost (small models for routing; larger for reasoning)
  • Comfortable with both framework-based and custom orchestration (tool calling, graphs, state machines) for tighter control and fallbacks
  • Effective collaboration with non-technical stakeholders by translating pain points into workflows and iterating via demos/feedback
