Software Engineer with a Master’s degree in Computer Science and 3+ years of experience building AI systems and distributed infrastructure. Experienced in Python, RAG, agentic AI systems, model evaluation, and scalable ML infrastructure. I’ve delivered production-grade NLP/ML pipelines (OCR + HITL), built ReAct-based tool-calling agents with automated non-deterministic evaluation, and optimized retrieval quality using hybrid search and reranking—deploying and benchmarking on cloud/GPU environments.

Work Experience

AI Research Assistant at San Jose State University, Dept of Computer Science
August 1, 2025 - Present
Developed an activation norms guided metric for selective LoRA fine-tuning of LLMs, improving training wall-clock speed and inference latency. Deployed A100 GPU clusters and created automation for distributed training (DDP) and tensor-parallel inference (TP). Used QLoRA and ZeRO for memory reduction and FlashAttention for faster training/inference in resource-constrained environments.
Applied AI Engineer at Quantiphi Analytics Solutions Pvt. Ltd. (GCP Practice)
January 1, 2022 - April 1, 2024
Built an event-driven OCR ingestion pipeline using Vertex AI, Apache Spark, Pub/Sub, and BigQuery to digitize and backfill a 5-year backlog of 50,000+ documents in under 6 hours with an 80% pass-through rate. Engineered a 6-stage Spark ETL pipeline processing ~1,200 records/min end-to-end for schema validation, normalization, and reference-data enrichment before loading curated datasets into BigQuery. Led an internal Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) platform (React/TypeScript/Python) enabling analysts to validate low-confidence OCR outputs and improve data quality. Automated dataset versioning and retraining workflows with Vertex AI SDK and BigQuery using shadow-mode deployments and offline evaluation prior to production rollout. Implemented centralized workflow tracking via outbox tables and event queues with stage-wise execution traceability and operational metrics via Cloud Logging, Prometheus, and Grafana. Built Git-based CI/CD to automate Docker build/test/deploy to Google Cloud Run and a
