Work Experience

Data Scientist II at Amazon
October 1, 2025 - April 30, 2026
Architected an end-to-end LLM-powered insights automation system for monthly/weekly/daily issue lifecycle reporting, reducing manual reporting effort by ~80%. Designed and orchestrated scalable dual-package data pipelines (CDK-based infrastructure + Python science packages) and built an end-to-end inference pipeline using AWS Step Functions to validate, transform, generate top contributors, run Bedrock (Claude 3) inference, evaluate outputs, and write results to S3. Developed persona-based actionable recommendations, implemented evaluation frameworks (ground-truth alignment using BERT-based similarity, field completeness, and data quality checks) achieving 93% reliability, and deployed a Slack bot for automated delivery to 20+ MBR metrics. Also automated customer survey analysis pipelines for 7+ tools using Python, NLTK, and spaCy to produce structured CSAT insights and dashboards for leadership using Amazon QuickSight.
Agentic AI Prompt Engineer at CMG Financial
July 1, 2025 - October 1, 2025
Engineered a RAG-based mortgage policy search system using LangChain, Azure OpenAI, and Azure AI Search indexing 40+ policy documents to enable natural-language policy queries. Launched an AI paydown simulator as a chat interface using Python, RAG, and n8n to model loan repayment scenarios for 100+ end users. Independently delivered meeting transcript automation using event-driven architecture (Drive recordings listener, transcript scraping, OpenAI-based extraction/summarization). Built end-to-end automation workflows using Microsoft Power Automate and n8n and integrated AI applications into frontend interfaces.
Data Engineer at GoTackle (Powered by GoLogic)
January 1, 2025 - June 30, 2025
Designed and implemented serverless data pipelines using AWS Lambda, Redshift, and BigQuery for real-time high-volume business data. Built AI-powered business insight engines using OpenAI GPT, Vertex AI, and LangChain to generate automated recommendations and reports. Automated data transformations using dbt and Airflow and engineered event-driven workflows with EventBridge and DynamoDB to improve scalability and reliability. Collaborated to integrate AI-driven insights into user dashboards for 10,000+ SMB users.
Research Assistant at Arizona State University
January 1, 2023 - December 31, 2024
Built a RAG pipeline leveraging knowledge graph triplets for semantic search and contextual recommendations, improving retrieval accuracy by 35%. Fine-tuned pre-trained models (BERT, GPT-2) for domain-specific QA and summarization using Hugging Face Transformers. Developed NLP pipelines with spaCy/Transformers/custom tokenizers to extract structured data from 10M+ unstructured records, reducing manual review by 40%. Performed data cleaning on 500,000+ records improving data quality by 30% and delivered insights via 10+ visualizations. Developed an ML matching model improving accuracy by 25% and reducing reconciliation effort by 60%.
Data Science Analyst at Cardlytics
July 1, 2021 - November 30, 2022
Built a Streamlit application to aggregate and standardize merchant location data across sources, improving processing efficiency by 4x and reducing manual effort from 5 FTEs to 1. Developed a REST API for merchant location cleaning (MLC) to normalize and extract phone numbers from transaction data. Enhanced time-series forecasting using XGBoost, LSTM, and LightGBM, reducing operational risk by 25%. Deployed ML models via FastAPI and Docker.
