Work Experience

Software Engineer (Research) at Stony Brook, NY
November 1, 2024 - Present
Built a React + FastAPI research assistant for semantic search and summarization over a 5,000+ document corpus by integrating LangChain, GPT-4, and FAISS. Implemented automated ingestion and chunking pipelines that parse, embed, and index new papers, reducing document-add time from hours to minutes while keeping the search index continuously updated. Developed a RAGAS evaluation harness to track retrieval precision and answer faithfulness, improving faithfulness to 0.90+ and catching quality regressions while tuning prompts and retrieval strategies. Added an MCP-based agentic layer with Redis caching for repeated queries, reducing average query latency by 40% and enabling multi-step retrieve-and-summarize flows within a single conversation.
Software Engineer at Matchday AI
June 1, 2022 - December 31, 2023
Built backend services for a real-time sports analytics platform using Python, Flask, MongoDB, and SQLite, reducing API response latency by 27% for live match reporting workflows. Developed REST APIs consumed by a React dashboard to serve structured match event data, standardizing response schemas and reducing frontend integration time by 35%. Introduced Kafka-based asynchronous messaging to decouple data ingestion from processing, increasing system throughput by 25% during peak event load. Added OAuth 2.0 role-based access, Prometheus/Grafana monitoring, and Azure Pipelines deployment automation, improving service stability and reducing release latency by 38%. Optimized MongoDB access with compound indexing and Redis caching for frequently accessed match data, reducing average query latency by 30% while sustaining live-match traffic during peak loads.
Full Stack Engineer Intern at Phoenix Global Trade Solutions
February 1, 2022 - May 31, 2022
Built Python and Flask backend services exposing REST and gRPC APIs backed by Redis to power a real-time analytics dashboard, improving UI responsiveness by 8% and service reliability by 12%. Integrated Azure Monitor telemetry across dashboard-backed microservices to improve visibility into API performance and detect reliability issues faster.
