Work Experience

Machine Learning Engineer at Blue Beetle
November 1, 2022 - November 28, 2025
I developed and maintained a robust and reliable AI framework that converts natural-language queries into production-grade applications.
Machine Learning Engineer at Blue Boat Data
November 1, 2022 - Present
Architected an end-to-end AgentOps pipeline that converts natural-language queries into production-grade analytics. Built a RAG-based multi-agent system for intent parsing, metadata retrieval, validation, and structured IR generation. Implemented a deterministic SQL agent handling complex multi-table and hierarchical queries with guaranteed correctness. Designed a typed intermediate representation to constrain LLM behavior and eliminate uncertainty. Automated over 70% of customer queries, accelerating decision-making and reducing analyst workload. Established LLMOps best practices for prompt management, versioning, and evaluation, ensuring production reliability. Led cross-functional collaboration to define requirements, shape system evolution, and uphold reliability standards.
Research Assistant - Machine Learning and Robotics at Simon Fraser University and Huawei Canada
September 1, 2019 - November 1, 2022
Worked on joint human trajectory and pose prediction with a novel non-autoregressive transformer model (ICRA 2023). Developed probabilistic, model-based intent inference within inverse reinforcement learning for human motion understanding (ICRA 2022).
Computer Vision Research Engineer Intern at Hinge Health
August 1, 2021 - December 1, 2021
Implemented single-shot, bottom-up 3D human pose estimation from monocular RGB using hybrid CNN-Transformer architectures. Optimized Inception-based backbones and pose parsing transformers for real-time inference on edge devices.
Data Engineer at Rahnema Co.
January 1, 2018 - March 1, 2019
