Lead Product Research & Development Engineer

Afiniti AI

Architected a LangGraph/AWS Bedrock Orchestrator Agent to unify three fragmented, independently-operating contact-center chatbots (Telephony Hub, Intelligence, Pairing Assist) into one context-aware entry point — directly addressing the AI-orchestration gap where disconnected point solutions add complexity without improving outcomes. Introduced 4-tier intent routing and cross-agent shared memory to eliminate repeated context loss across product handoffs.
Designed a ReAct-based "Level 2" planning upgrade that replaced a 250-intent hardcoded system with dynamic, Skill-grounded LLM planning — breaking through the ceiling where rules-based automation runs out of coverage. Unlocked multi-step analytical queries that the prior intent-matching system structurally couldn't handle.
Built a Plan Validator and execution-loop safeguards to prevent hallucinated tool calls from reaching production data — ensuring autonomous execution stayed auditable and trustworthy, rather than optimizing for gameable operational metrics at the expense of real customer outcomes.
Leading and mentoring a team of three PhD interns on applied AI research projects, shaping research direction and contributing to successful publications.

Circana (NPD/IRI)

Led the design of a scalable LangGraph + LLM-based Agentic framework to quantify social media influence (authenticity, emotional resonance, temporal dynamics, and causality), fully automating long-form reporting and eliminating the manual work of a five-member analyst team.
Spearheaded an LLM-driven product information extraction(Web scrapping) system for complex HTML product pages by fine-tuning open-source LLMs and adding RAG, significantly increasing extraction accuracy and speeding up competitive intelligence and market research.
Built and deployed high-performance web-scraping agents on the CrewAI Agentic framework to automate large-scale data collection from diverse websites with minimal maintenance overhead.
Led and mentored a team of three PhD interns on applied AI research projects, shaping research direction and contributing to successful publications and prototypes.
Improved a key binary classification model from 70% to 98% accuracy by introducing LSTM-based Neural network architecture and systematically tuning network design and training pipelines. Automated model retraining and monitoring by integrating Azure data-drift detection libraries, ensuring models were proactively retrained and remained robust as data distributions evolved.
Optimized a Weaviate vector database used for large-scale retrieval by tuning HNSW indexing, memory usage, and query performance, and evaluating alternatives such as L2-norm indexing, LSH, and k-NN to improve latency and throughput.
Applied deep learning Auto encoder-decoder architectures and TensorFlow to prototype and deploy representation-learning solutions for complex structured and unstructured data.
Implemented an image-to-structured-data pipeline using OpenCV and YOLO to parse user-uploaded receipts, followed by spaCy-based NER, achieving ~80% field-level extraction accuracy and enabling downstream analytics.
Developed anomaly-detection workflows using LOF and Isolation Forest, then applied DIFFI, SHAP, and LIME to interpret model outputs and provide transparent, actionable diagnostics to stakeholders.
Designed and implemented end-to-end MLOps pipelines (CI/CD/CT) with Docker and Azure ML Studio, enabling reliable cloud deployment of ML models, achieving ~99% service availability and reducing infrastructure costs through better resource utilization.
Containerized Django-based services with Docker and orchestrated them via Kubernetes, enabling scalable, fault-tolerant deployment of previously on-premises applications.
