Mirza K.-Agentic AI for a DeepResearch project

Check rate
Experience
Agentic Automation and a RAG system
- This project involved extraction of intelligence data to support report writing for a company that provides geopolitical, global, commercial intelligence. The data have been gathered from a number of resources (interview transcripts, online data, internal documents), and then a knowledge base has been build from it. This was the basis of a complex RAG system, that was evaluated against a golden dataset. Agents have been used to find out the contradicting intelligence, the statements supporting each other, and to store back the generated knowledge.
Used: Python, RAG, LangGraph, LangChain, deepeval, MCP
Agentic AI for a Media House
- Creation of a multi-agentic system that helps a media house in their daily business. The first project was creating a RAG system via Google Filestore, ingesting data from more than 80 websites (belonging to this media house) - this system was then queried by the end uses, who would ask various questions about the new content (series, shows, movies, books). Another project was developed with Google Agent Development Kit (ADK), and was a multi-agentic system communicating with RAG, on top of which I build an analysis layer, reporting about the recent job posts suitable for the media house. I was responsible for the design and end-to-end development, including deployment at GCP. In this project I also used MCP (Model Context Protocol).
Used: Python, Git, Google ADK, SQL, Vector Search DB, RAG, LangChain, LangGraph, MCP
GenAI Engineer
Agentic AI for a DeepResearch project
- To create a multi-agentic system, supported by a Knowledge Graph, that automates the process of drafting a research paper. The system used multiple experts (OpenAI models) that 'collaborated' during the process of document drafting. The whole process was supported by a Knowledge Graph out of which we extracted useful information. Technologies used for this framework: LangChain, LangGraph, Smolagents, LlamaIndex, dspy. The project involved the use of Terraform and GitHub Actions (CI/CD Pipeline), via AWS. The initial application was deployed as a Streamlit app. I was responsible for the AI Engineering part, Knowledge Graph creation, and also deployment in AWS. This was a GenAI Engineer role, also involving Prompt Evaluation and Retrieval Optimization (Langfuse).
Used: Python, Git, LangChain, LangGraph, dspy, GraphRAG, RAG, SQL
PulseSpotter
MediaLab Bayern
- PulseSpotter is designed to assist journalists in the task of identifying newsworthy topics that are likely to become popular. By gathering information from various news sources and analyzing patterns over time, the system suggests emerging trends by using AI and machine learning, saving journalists time on research and deciding which stories to focus on.
RAG (LLM)
Freelance
- an LLM chatbot to help with HR-related inquiries. Approach: I led the development of an advanced Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system aimed at improving HR data retrieval processes. This system utilizes a Vector Similarity Search Database and commercial LLM API to efficiently source and integrate extensive HR-related data, enabling it to respond to a broad spectrum of HR inquiries. We have also attempted to fine-tune an LLM for this task, and the technologies used were PEFT (LoRA), and sophisticated Prompt Engineering. My responsibility was setting up the system, starting with plain HR documents, and using Amazon Bedrock for this project. We also associated several agents with the system.
Used: Python, Git, LangChain, LangGraph, Milvus, SQL
Senior Data Scientist
Freelancer
Spectral Image Object Detection
Freelance
- Given a spectral image showing sensor reading values, classified the signals and identified novelties (anomalies).
- Since there was not enough labeled data, I relied on self-supervised machine learning methods. To meet the customer's need for fast processing, I used one of the YOLO architectures. The system was developed with the MMYOLO framework. I was responsible for the main modeling work.
Used: Python, Git, SQL
User Grouping in a Social Network
Freelance
- Fostered communication among like-minded users through dynamic group formation based on their responses to specific questions.
- Used vectorization and K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) for initial grouping, along with a recommendation system for better group alignment.
Senior Data Scientist
Bayerischer Rundfunk/.pub
- Researched state-of-the-art developments in recommender systems for media (audio, video, and text content).
- Implemented a recommender system powering ARD Audiothek (one of Germany's most popular audio-on-demand platforms). The deployed production model had 15% higher precision than the previous one.
- NLP projects: entity recognition and redundancy removal
Fraud Detection for a Buy-Now Pay-Later Platform
Freelance
- Fraud detection.
- Designed and developed a fraud detection model for a Middle Eastern buy-now-pay-later platform. A critical step for this client involved data preprocessing, during which I used a graph-based approach to identify groups of fraudsters. This was the client's first successful machine learning project. I was responsible for setting up the company's first graph-based fraud detection model, and I was also involved in ETL. This was both a Data Scientist and Data Engineer role.
Used: Python, Git, SQL
Next-Best Finance-Related Action
Freelance
- To advise individuals on financial actions that enhance their chances of achieving specific goals.
- For an Asian bank aiming to offer actionable advice for long-term financial planning, such as securing a home purchase in 20 years.
- Predictive machine learning models were developed to suggest optimal actions (example: obtaining a salary increase of at least 10%).
Data Scientist
Yewno/Entropy387
- research on and implementation of graph-based stock-market prediction models
- pricing engine implementation (achieved a 10% improvement of MAE with respect to the previous model)
Recommender for Online Betting
Freelance
- To surpass the performance of Amazon Personalize's Hierarchical Recurrent Neural Network-based recommendation system.
- Adopted a recommender model based on Factorization Machines, significantly improving recommendations through targeted feature engineering. Kafka was used for this project.
Debt Collection
Freelance
- To predict the likelihood of loan repayment by bank customers, aiding in their segmentation for tailored communication strategies (email, SMS, or phone calls).
- Created a behavioral scoring machine learning model, now incorporated into Receeve's collection approach. Used Spark and Hadoop, for Distributed Computing and Large Data processing.
Sensor Anomaly Detection
Freelance
- To detect unusual behavior in a sensor-monitored network.
- Established a baseline machine learning model predicting expected sensor readings, using deviations from this model to flag anomalies. Enhanced detection accuracy with a Graph Neural Network, analyzing the connectivity between sensors and observable areas. The models used were GNNs supported in the PyG framework.
Used: Python, Git, SQL, PyG
Post-Doc
Roma Tre University
- research on Graph Morphing Algorithms
- implementation of Graph Drawing Algorithms
Pricing Engine for a US Dispatcher
Freelance
- To predict vehicle transportation prices, providing dispatchers with a reliable basis for pricing.
- Enhanced the machine learning model's accuracy by approximately 40% through advanced feature engineering and implementing a two-tiered regression strategy, combining residual and standard regression techniques powered by XGBoost. The dispatcher portal grew notably in terms of user interaction with the board.
Used: Python, Git, SQL
Investment Prediction
Freelance
- To forecast investors' forthcoming decisions on company investments.
- Transformed the challenge into a graph-based problem, treating investors and companies as nodes. Developed a Graph Neural Network to predict potential investor-company connections, integrating this model into StockFink's prediction suite.
Used: Python, Git, SQL
Software Engineer
Visteon (former Johnson Controls)
- (re)implementation of a testing software
- implementation of Finite State Machines
- code generation
