Current Role

AI/ML Engineer @ Chief Technology Office, University of Chicago

Experienced in designing and deploying end-to-end machine learning pipelines, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) models, and conversational AI systems. My work spans building LLM-powered coaching platforms, contributing to Phoenix AI (a ChatGPT-like system for university services), and developing automation tools that simplify complex workflows.

I'm proficient in Python, PySpark, and cloud technologies such as GCP and AWS, with a strong foundation in NLP, data engineering, and large-scale analytics.

Currently seeking opportunities as an ML Engineer or Data Scientist where I can combine technical rigor with strategic impact. When I'm not debugging models or optimizing pipelines, you'll find me exploring new cultures, traveling and reading books. I believe in continuous learning and growth, and I am confident that my communication, presentation, and analytical skills will enable me to excel in any role.
