Data Scientist at Upright Music/CEBS

July 1, 2024 - Present

Evaluated and deployed DeepSeek-R1 LLM in production, comparing performance across VLLM, Ollama, Llama.cpp, and SGLang; selected Llama.cpp for production, optimizing GPU memory efficiency and inference speed. Designed and optimized an LLM-powered agentic RAG system for natural-language music search, deployed as a FastAPI endpoint. Improved Triton Inference Server configuration to reduce GPU usage by 30–40%, enabling multi-model deployment on shared infrastructure. Built a multi-agent system for mapping music metadata tags between taxonomies using LangGraph, FAISS, DeepSeek-R1, and prompt-controlled iterative routing with retry logic.
