About

LLM engineer/data analyst who built a production RAG QA assistant over the Jurafsky & Martin NLP textbook to reduce hallucinations and provide explainable, source-grounded answers. Experienced with LangChain/LangGraph orchestration, retrieval optimization (embeddings, vector DBs, caching), and rigorous evaluation/monitoring (Retrieval@K, A/B tests, telemetry/drift). Previously communicated analytics insights to non-technical stakeholders at GS Analytics using Power BI and simplified reporting.

Key Strengths

  • Built and deployed a production RAG-based QA assistant grounded in a trusted academic source
  • Optimized retrieval quality via chunking strategy and sentence-transformer embeddings
  • Improved retrieval latency/scalability using vector DB + caching for frequently accessed data
  • Strong evaluation discipline for AI workflows (Retrieval@K, precision/recall/F1, BLEU, human eval, A/B testing, telemetry/drift monitoring)
  • Hands-on orchestration of LLM pipelines with LangChain and LangGraph (retriever-LLM flow, prompts, memory, tool chaining)
  • Able to translate technical analysis into stakeholder-friendly insights using Power BI dashboards and clear presentations
