Software Development Intern at NIU

May 31, 2024 - July 13, 2025

Formulated guidelines addressing how related, unrelated, and absent data influence AI precision, accuracy and recall with Hugging Face LLMs, popular AI APIs and a custom made AI model. Used SQL to query the public CVE software vulnerability database, improving model performance and accuracy by approximately 50%. Employed Beautiful Soup to web scrape a large Excel file to check precision and accuracy of the AI model. Worked with the Nvidia CUDA library to enhance custom AI model speed by using 4 GPUs, reducing AI generation time from days to minutes. Improved communication and adaptability as project requirements evolved.
