AI/ML Engineer at Predictiva

December 1, 2025 - Present

Built and deployed end-to-end AI-powered systems by integrating ML models and AI agents (PPO/APPO) into production on a Ray/RLlib framework, improving performance over the S&P 500 buy-and-hold benchmark by 5%. Designed AI agent solutions using orchestration (LangGraph, LangChain, MCP), tool use, and RAG, and served them via Python web APIs (FastAPI/Ray Serve) with systematic evaluation gates. Deployed on AWS/GCP using Docker and CI/CD, debugging distributed clusters including shared-state and episode-boundary issues, and enforcing data-leakage prevention. Refactored research code into modular, tested Python packages and translated loosely-specified requirements into working systems, using Claude Code for agentic pair-programming.

Student Ambassador & Graduate Lab Assistant at University of Essex

October 1, 2023 - February 1, 2025

Used Python-based EDA to uncover an admissions trend, contributing to a 90% rise in home-student applications. Built Tableau/Power BI dashboards and SQL ETL workflows, translating requirements for non-technical stakeholders. Provided academic support across Mathematics for Computer Science, Information Retrieval, and Computer Security modules.
