About

Built an AI lending assistant (RAG + DeBERTa) used by credit analysts to retrieve policies and past loan decisions, tackling real production issues like hallucinations, document quality, and sub-second latency. Deployed a modular, Dockerized AWS architecture (ECS/EMR + load balancer) with load testing, caching/precomputed embeddings, and CloudWatch monitoring, and used Airflow to automate scheduled data/embedding/vector DB refresh pipelines with retries and alerts.
