Professional journey
Experience
Research, engineering, and applied machine learning.
Jun 2026 – Aug 2026
InternshipComputer Vision Intern
- Built an edge video threat-detection pipeline for the Vaelsys–Intel proof of concept, benchmarking 5+ VLMs and ML classifiers with up to 95% theft recall.
- Benchmarked Qwen3-VL-8B inference on Intel iGPU through OpenVINO Model Server and gRPC, supporting 8–12 concurrent camera streams.
- Stress-tested an NPU–GPU two-stage edge-AI architecture combining D-FINE, DLStreamer, GStreamer, VLM inference, and ML classification.
- Led a VLM reliability study on counterfactual anomaly-region grounding for industrial inspection across 13k+ evaluations.
Apr 2025 – Aug 2025
ContractGenAI Engineer
- Led RAG pipelines for spectroscopy Q&A, integrating embeddings, Milvus, and automated cloud indexing.
- Built asynchronous APIs and NL2SQL pipelines for automated metadata and file retrieval with secure cloud access.
- Recognized by executive leadership for high-impact delivery and offered a permanent role.
Sep 2024 – Dec 2024
Part-timeData Scientist
- Developed a RAG web application with AstraDB and Groq using Llama embeddings for efficient loading, chunking, and storage.
- Worked across MLOps and ETL with Docker, PySpark, Airflow, and dbt.
Nov 2023 – Mar 2024
Part-timeAnalyst
- Built a Botpress chatbot for automated product queries and explored LLM fine-tuning for improved responses.
- Explored applied ML and BI techniques to integrate retail stores and optimize logistics sustainably.
Jul 2023 – Mar 2024
ResearchResearch Intern
University College Dublin & University of Cincinnati
- Developed a fusion encoder–decoder model for emotion-enriched image captions with pretrained deep-learning features.
- Fine-tuned BERT and RoBERTa for adversarial prompt detection to prevent LLM jailbreaking.
