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.

Key Strengths

  • Built and deployed a production RAG-based lending assistant for credit analysts
  • Designed scalable, containerized microservices on AWS with horizontal scaling behind a load balancer
  • Performance engineering with load testing and p95 latency targets (~1s) plus caching/precomputation
  • Improved reliability by addressing hallucinations and poor document quality via prompt constraints and Spark-based cleaning
  • Operational rigor: monitoring/alerting with CloudWatch and ongoing evaluation runs
  • Airflow orchestration of end-to-end data/embedding/vector DB refresh pipelines with retries and alerts
  • Strong cross-functional collaboration translating credit analyst workflows into technical requirements

Built an end-to-end AI bug triage dashboard that combined React/TypeScript, FastAPI, Postgres, and classical ML to reduce manual engineering triage work by about 40%. Stands out for pragmatic, product-minded AI engineering: choosing interpretable models when they were sufficient, designing human-in-the-loop UX for trust, and separately building an agentic RAG project with vector search, Neo4j knowledge graphs, and reranking.
