Experience
Associate AI Engineer
Best Brains Inc · Feb 2025 – Present
- Building a Socratic AI tutor agent that teaches students by asking leading questions instead of giving direct answers — designed the agent's conversation flow, prompting strategy, and tool/function-calling loop (calculator for step-wise math verification, curriculum content retrieval, answer evaluation, hint generation).
- • Built a RAG pipeline with semantic search, embeddings, and Crawl4AI-based web scraping for AI-ready content ingestion — grounding the tutor in curriculum content, improving factual accuracy and reducing hallucinations in production.
- • Designed domain-specific LLM fine-tuning workflows using LoRA, QLoRA, and post-training quantization to adapt models to the tutoring domain while reducing inference cost.
- • Curated training datasets from image sources using Gemini APIs and Tesseract OCR — selected after evaluating multiple local LLMs — reducing manual dataset-creation effort by ~75%.
- • Integrated YOLO-based object detection to crop question regions with tables, graphs, and diagrams and map them to text — cutting manual cropping workload by ~70%.
- • Automated the end-to-end data-preparation pipeline with Python (watchdog) — reducing manual workload by ~60%.
- • Developed an internal LLM Gateway routing Claude, Gemini, and local LLMs (Ollama) with dynamic model selection, fallback handling, and cost optimization.
- • Implemented LLM observability (latency, token usage, response quality) and refined evaluation workflows — improving downstream performance by ~25%.
Data Analysis & AI Intern
AJAI Robotics · Jul 2024 – Jan 2025
- Improved YOLO-based vision model performance by 10% through in-depth dataset analysis and optimization.
- • Developed a voice-enabled AI system using Rasa for a smart coffee machine, increasing user interaction by 20%.
- • Built a Flutter Android app with real-time visitor detection using MobileNet SSD — sensor-free customer identification triggering personalized welcome media, with Google Chat webhook notifications for entry logs and operational tracking.
- • Deployed production Django + React applications with Gunicorn, NGINX reverse proxy, systemd services, and Let's Encrypt SSL — tuned workers and routing for near-100% uptime and low-latency performance.
- • Contributed to computer vision model training and embedded-system integration for robots operating in real-world environments.
Data Science Intern
360DigiTMG · Nov 2023 – Apr 2024
- Proficient in Python, SQL, and Machine Learning: Developed strong skills in Python, SQL, and machine learning through hands-on projects and practical exercises.
- Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) & Visualization: Conducted in-depth EDA and created insightful visualizations using Python libraries like Pandas and Seaborn to uncover trends and patterns in datasets.
- Collaborative Model Development: Worked on machine learning models, collaborating with the team to understand their real-world applications and improve model performance.
