Work Experience

End of Study Project at SAMP
May 1, 2025 - Present
Designed and implemented an AI agentic workflow for industrial scene understanding by integrating spatial information into LLMs. Processed and aligned 3D point cloud features with instruction-tuned LLMs using LoRA fine-tuning techniques. Tackled tasks such as spatial reference resolution, question answering, and scene description to bridge the gap between 3D geometry and natural language. Trained and evaluated the system on AWS cloud infrastructure with H100 GPUs, achieving improvements in grounding accuracy and context-aware responses.
Part-time AI/ML Engineer at iTransformer365
May 1, 2024 - Present
Developed Agents in LangGraph using OpenAI GPT LLMs for action-based search with advanced prompt engineering. Utilized LangChain and MultiChain to manage external data and explore LLM configurations for output diversity. Experimented with LLMs including DeBERTa, LLaMA, and BERT to fine-tune responses with LoRA techniques.
AI Team Leader at Innovative Realities
October 1, 2024 - October 15, 2025
Led the enhancement of transcription accuracy using advanced audio processing and transformer models. Adapted WhisperX and FasterWhisper for bilingual transcription, integrating Nemo and Pyannote for diarization. Utilized LLMs via GPT API for data extraction and employed RAG to optimize API performance.
NLP Intern at ESG Smarter
September 1, 2023 - October 15, 2025
Managed data collection, cleaning, augmentation, and vectorization with techniques like TF-IDF and Word2Vec. Developed sentiment analysis models including RNN and XGBoost; integrated with Docker for deployment.
