I am a PhD-trained ML Scientist (McGill) with 6+ years building, validating, and deploying production AI/ML systems. I specialize in rigorous model evaluation, multi-modal data analysis, and MLOps deployment using Docker, CI/CD, and AWS. I have built GenAI applications using LangChain, FAISS, and OpenAI APIs, emphasizing thorough testing and validation frameworks. I have published 8+ papers demonstrating deep technical rigor and collaborated with clinicians and imaging scientists to translate research into clinical trial optimizations. I am seeking senior roles in GenAI validation, model risk management, or AI governance.

Work Experience

Doctoral Researcher at McGill University, Montreal Neurological Institute
January 1, 2019 - January 1, 2025
Developed ML models on 300+ participants combining MRI features and cognitive tests for Alzheimer's disease risk prediction, achieving 0.84 AUC and reducing false positive rate by 22% compared to cognitive-only approaches. Built Python infrastructure integrating ANTs, FreeSurfer, and custom statistical models with bash orchestration for automated longitudinal analysis of 4000+ scans. Deployed a RAG-based research assistant using LangChain, FAISS, and OpenAI APIs with Docker containerization and CI/CD via GitHub Actions, accelerating literature review workflows. Collaborated with neurologists, statisticians, and imaging physicists to translate research into clinical trial optimizations, achieving 3.8x sample size reduction and 56% fewer patient visits.
Image Processing Intern at NeuroRx Research
January 1, 2022 - Present
Built and deployed an automated ML model to classify daily incoming MRI images as new or follow-up patients using image cross-correlation and lesion-based features, streamlining data management for the neuroimaging research pipeline.
