Work Experience

Software Engineering Specialist for RLHF at Outlier AI
November 1, 2024 - Present
Guided AI agents through complex coding tasks, evaluating and refining generated code to boost model capabilities. Refined AI agent’s Chain of Thought (COT) reasoning to achieve ideal PR fixes in 25+ SWE Bench GitHub issues, significantly enhancing model-generated code and debugging accuracy. Contributed to the training of agentic models for UI/UX design, optimizing COT reasoning and generated code to produce 20+ ideal UI/UX solutions and measurably enhance design quality.
Machine Learning Engineer at Ross Video
April 30, 2024 - July 21, 2025
Transitioned preprocessing from CPU to GPU-based using Torchvision, reducing data prep time by 52%. Engineered real-time video super resolution with GANs, optimizing for GPU efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Refactored two legacy PyTorch 0.3 custom convolution layers (deformable, dynamic local) to PyTorch 2.0 with ATen in C++, resulting in improvements in the deinterlacer model. Accelerated super-resolution, segmentation, and deinterlacer models with TensorRT and int8 quantization, achieving up to 85% latency reduction and real-time performance while maintaining output quality. Optimized image preprocessing augmentation using CUDA, reducing execution time by 36%.
Teaching Assistant at Carleton University
April 30, 2024 - July 21, 2025
Led office hours for Functional Programming (Haskell) and Cognitive Science courses across 4 terms. Assessed term papers and quizzes for classes of up to 300 students, providing constructive feedback to support student development.
Full Stack Developer at Ericsson
December 31, 2022 - July 21, 2025
Refactored UI of internal tools with React’s component architecture and state management, increasing user retention by 18% for development teams. Designed visualization solutions using Kibana to monitor code coverage and Jenkins job performance, improving build times by ∼7 minutes and increasing quality of repository commits. Integrated Elasticsearch with secure REST API endpoints by implementing certificate-based authentication, enabling reliable and protected data retrieval for dashboard visualizations and monitoring tools.
Software Developer at Canadian Resident Matching Service (CaRMS)
December 31, 2021 - July 21, 2025
