About

Interned at Zonda where he built an AI-driven semantic search solution over ~280M housing/builder records. Iterated from local LLMs via llama.cpp quantization to a vector-embedding retrieval system, then boosted semantic accuracy with a custom spaCy NER layer and re-ranking, optimizing for latency through precomputation. Collaborated with economics-focused stakeholders to reduce manual document/paperwork time by enabling natural-language search over internal data.

Key Strengths

  • Built and iterated a production semantic search system end-to-end
  • Scaled AI retrieval pipeline for very large datasets (~280M records)
  • Improved search accuracy by adding custom NER on top of vector retrieval
  • Pragmatic model/tool selection (local LLM quantization vs cloud API vs vector search) based on constraints
  • Performance optimization via precomputation (embeddings/entities) to reduce query-time latency
  • Uses measurable IR evaluation (precision/recall/NDCG) plus A/B testing to validate improvements
  • Able to translate AI capabilities into value for non-technical stakeholders (housing/economics users)
