Experience & Education

My academic background and professional history.

AI/ML Extern@ Pfizer

May 2026 — Aug 2026

Built AI document-processing pipelines using OCR tools (Tesseract, PaddleOCR) and explored RAG workflows with LlamaIndex and open-source LLMs for document retrieval and classification. Evaluated OCR and retrieval performance, researched optimization strategies, and contributed to technical documentation and prototype UI development for demos.

Back-End AI Engineering Intern@ FlyRank AI

Jul 2026 — Aug 2026

Completed 13 backend and AI engineering assignments, including a CRUD API with authentication, PostgreSQL integration, a containerized Docker stack, and a rate-limited web scraper. Built AI-driven tooling such as a decision-flow app with React Flow and Inngest and a PDF report generator, and delivered the program capstone project ("Your 10x Solution").

Selected Projects

A focused selection of real-world projects emphasizing product thinking, technical depth, and execution.

Personal Project · Machine Learning

FIFA WC 2026 Predictor

An ensemble match prediction system (XGBoost + Logistic Regression + MLP) with isotonic probability calibration, built on a stateful feature pipeline tracking Elo ratings, rolling form, attack/defense metrics, and head-to-head records for all 48 World Cup 2026 teams. SHAP analysis across 136 engineered features quantifies signal contribution, a team-dependent Poisson model predicts scorelines, and a 1,000-iteration Monte Carlo simulator estimates each team's championship odds. Achieves ~60% match prediction accuracy, served via FastAPI with an interactive Next.js frontend.

Hackathon Participant · DataQuest'26

Argus Labs

Made as a participation to the DataQuest'26 hackathon hosted by WesternAI, this system takes in an MRI image and categorizes it into one of four classes (glioma, meningioma, pituitary tumor, or no tumor). It achieved about 91.9% accuracy using a CNN trained on 7000 images. We built a full pipeline from image upload to prediction, featuring an interactive 3D brain visualization to make results easier to understand.

NeuroPulse

Built out of a recent interest in neuroscience, NeuroPulse is a web-based tool that simulates neural activity propagation across different brain regions and visualizes it on a 3D brain model in real time. It allows you to observe how activity patterns change under different cognitive states such as Focus, Relax, and Motor modes, while displaying real-time neural signal charts and region-based activity monitoring.
