Research & Machine Learning Experience
Graduate Research & Teaching Assistant, Auburn University Jan 2024 – Present
- DEMA — architecting a full-stack engineering data platform on the CIM4DE information model, and exploring how LLMs can classify record quality and answer questions over the data it holds.
- AUSME — built a retrieval pipeline over roughly 25,000 research papers that summarises faculty work and exposes it through a conversational interface for finding expertise across 50+ faculty.
- Delivered hands-on Python and MATLAB lab sessions to undergraduates, supporting programming proficiency through mentoring and assignment guidance.
Software Developer, Emids Technologies Pvt Ltd Dec 2021 – Jul 2023
- Built the Reports, Accounts, Leads and Contacts modules of an enterprise CRM, including the SQL queries and aggregations behind its reporting views.
- Designed Spring Boot REST services moving customer and sales data between modules, and built the server-side layer with JSP, JSTL and Servlets.
Selected Machine Learning Projects
SplitShield (Proof of Possible 2026; GitHub; Demo; Video)
- Finds duplicate images leaking across dataset splits with perceptual hashing and MobileNetV3-Small embeddings, and reports how far accuracy moves once they are removed.
Circular Trade Fraud Detection with Graph Learning (Research project; GitHub)
- Detects circular trading rings in invoice data with graph cycle detection, Node2Vec embeddings and DBSCAN.
AstraNova (Build with Gemini XPRIZE; Demo; Video)
- An intraday options copilot combining live market data, model-scored signals and broker execution.
Multi-Class Sentiment Analysis with BERT (Coursework; GitHub)
- Fine-tuned bert-base-uncased on the SMILE annotation dataset as a study of transformer transfer learning.
Other Projects
Sentinel Memory (CockroachDB × AWS — Build with Agentic Memory; GitHub; Demo; Video)
- An incident-response agent whose memory is a transactional database rather than a context window.
Leadership & Service
- Treasurer, The Society for Responsible Artificial Intelligence (December 2024 – Present).
