Work Experience

Senior AI-ML Developer at Jesta I.S.
October 1, 2024 - Present
Led the design and development of the company's first AI Agent enabling retail clients to obtain business insights from natural language queries against their own data. Prototyped with Gradio, built a scalable backend with FastAPI and a frontend using React and TypeScript. Deployed via Azure DevOps CI/CD, implemented I/O guardrails, and used Langsmith for experiment tracking and evaluation. Engineered end-to-end demand forecasting with LightGBM models for short-term and pre-season forecasts, orchestrated with Kedro, runs on AWS Batch, and tracked experiments with MLflow. Developed AutoEncoder and Random Forest models for a fraud-detection POC.
Technical Writer at Unstract & Literally.dev
January 1, 2025 - Present
Crafted engaging blog posts and case studies for two AI startups, promoting products like LLMWhisperer and Kapa’s production-grade RAG pipelines for technical documentation API and MCP server, helping drive audience growth and lead generation.
Machine Learning Researcher at Hydro-Québec
December 31, 2022 - April 30, 2024
Developed probabilistic LSTM models for forecasting using data from 400+ dams; integrated a real-time anomaly detection framework with switching Kalman filter, reducing false alarms by ~50%. Built an end-to-end PyTorch framework for training, evaluation, and monitoring, integrated with MLFlow on AWS; improved predictive accuracy by modeling heteroscedastic uncertainty.
Graduate Research Assistant at Polytechnique Montreal
September 1, 2018 - December 1, 2022
Developed a multiplicative state-space model to capture non-harmonic periodic patterns in structural health monitoring; introduced AGVI for real-time uncertainty quantification in Bayesian ML models, reducing training time.
Graduate Research Assistant at McGill University
September 1, 2015 - March 1, 2018
Enhanced statistical downscaling methods by integrating multiple techniques to project future climate scenarios; evaluated and optimized statistical models for daily/hourly downscaling.
Teaching Assistant at McGill University
August 31, 2016 - March 31, 2017
Led tutorial sessions for Probabilistic Systems and Engineering System Analysis for 120 undergraduate Civil & Mining Engineering students.
