Industry Experience
My industry work focuses on large-scale machine learning systems, geospatial modeling, and production-ready AI experimentation.
AI Engineering Intern — DrRx
Aug 2026 - Present
Developing a RAG pipeline leveraging BM25S retrieval and Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct over 2K+ pharmaceutical documents, integrating data from PostgreSQL and AWS S3
Machine Learning Intern — Regeneron
May 2026 - Aug 2026
Deployed a Streamlit application for the QA Validation and Operations Team using TabPFN Regressor and Classifier models, engineering 40 trend-based features from 500K+ GMP manufacturing records to predict equipment breakdowns, achieving a 67.8% ROC-AUC
Open Source Developer (DeepChem) — Google Summer of Code
May 2026 - Aug 2026
- Selected as 1 of 5 from 200+ applicants to extend DeepChem’s support for large-scale molecular language models.
- Extended the HuggingFaceModel class by implementing the generate() API, implementing batched autoregressive inference,tokenizer padding, and device-aware execution.
- Developed an OLMo wrapper class supporting regression, classification, multitask learning, and causal language modeling with custom prediction heads, pretrained checkpoint loading, mixed-precision inference, LoRA/QLoRA, and multi-GPU support.
AI Fellow - AI4ALL Ignite Summer Accelerator
May 2026 - Present
- Selected for the competitive AI4ALL Ignite Summer 2026 Accelerator.
- Developed an end-to-end Braille-to-speech computer vision pipeline integrating YOLO11n, EfficientNet-B0, Liblouis, and Piper TTS, achieving 96.15% detection mAP50, 99.41% classification accuracy, and 97.32% character coverage.
- Trained and evaluated detection and classification models across 4 datasets and 5 model families, scaling to 10,117 augmented images and 193K+ character crops and performing end-to-end error analysis to identify false positive detection and reading-order failures.
AI Associate Developer — Insurity
Oct 2025 – Jan 2026
Peril Prediction Project
- Engineered large-scale geospatial preprocessing pipelines (6M+ rows) integrating climate variables with peril events via time alignment, spatial filtering, and feature engineering using Python, Pandas, and GeoPandas.
- Built and evaluated LightGBM-based multi-class peril classifiers, applying SMOTE class balancing achieving a 70% accuracy and F1 score.
- Experimented with a Temporal Fusion Transformer (TFT), modeling seasonal dependencies via cyclical week encoding and training GPU-accelerated PyTorch models on NVIDIA RTX hardware.
Computer Vision — Geospatial Change Detection
- Developed a geospatial change-detection system for before/after satellite imagery using OpenCV and deep learning pipelines.
- Implemented CNN and Transformer-based architectures including U-Net++ for high-resolution semantic segmentation.
