Work Experience

AI Engineer at Piper Sandler
April 1, 2025 - November 1, 2025
Developed LLM-powered internal research tools using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) with LangChain and Pinecone/FAISS to support analyst workflows across sentiment, macroeconomic, and fundamental research. Improved LLM response quality via prompt engineering, document chunking strategies, and embedding-based retrieval. Contributed to agent-style AI workflows with structured task orchestration and context management for multi-step analyses. Collaborated with ML and backend teams to expose LLM services via REST APIs for scalable pipelines and model evaluation.
AI/ML Engineer at SAP
January 1, 2022 - May 1, 2024
Designed and deployed a controllable SDXL image generation pipeline using Multi-LoRA and composable diffusion techniques, improving image fidelity and regional control by 35%. Built a 25K-image synthetic training dataset leveraging automated vision-language captioning (LLaVA-13B, BLIP-2) and parallel data pipelines to improve fine-tuning stability. Fine-tuned custom SDXL LoRA models with Noise Offset and Min-SNR weighting to reduce training instability and improve generalization. Conducted systematic hyperparameter optimization and evaluated SAM with Stable Diffusion inpainting and IP-Adapter/ControlNet variants to enhance localized editing.
