About

Daily insights on LLM systems, AI engineering, agentic workflows, and real-world machine learning.

I write about:

• AI interview questions (LLM engineering, system design, research)
• LLM infrastructure & optimization
• RAG architectures (GraphRAG, Agentic RAG, Hybrid)
• Vision-Language Models (VLMs)
• AI research papers explained simply
• Building and deploying AI products at scale

My work focuses on the intersection of research and engineering, turning cutting-edge papers into production-ready AI systems.

I help:

• ✔ AI engineers understand complex concepts
• ✔ Teams build scalable, reliable LLM systems
• ✔ Students and developers break into AI
• ✔ Companies turn research into real products

If you want to level up in AI one day at a time, you're in the right place.

Experience

September 2025 – Present

AI Researcher

Befoundr

Researched and integrated state-of-the-art LLMs, RAG, and agentic AI patterns into productivity chatbots for founders. Designed knowledge retrieval pipelines and multi-step reasoning workflows for investor-focused insights. Consulted on AI architecture, SoTA model selection, prompt engineering, and LLM system design.

October 2023 – Present

AI Researcher and Software Engineer

Spartan

Built and deployed agentic AI pipelines combining LLMs, RAG (GraphRAG, LightRAG, PathRAG), and vector search for real-world applications. Designed prompt engineering patterns for multi-step reasoning, classification, summarization, and code review automation. Fine-tuned and benchmarked LLMs for domain-specific tasks (coding, PDF parsing, technical diagram understanding). Led AI knowledge-sharing sessions internally; advised on team AI strategy and candidate hiring.

October 2023 – March 2025

Senior AI Engineer

J.D. Power

Designed end-to-end RAG pipelines using LangChain and LlamaIndex. Built structured extraction systems for thousands of complex automotive incentive PDFs. Built and operated full backend + ML infra on GCP, Kubernetes, Terraform, Helm. Designed high-reliability systems for large-scale batch inference & parsing. Integrated Azure Document Intelligence with custom OCR + NLP pipelines. Improved accuracy across highly variable OEM document formats (Toyota, Ford, Hyundai, VW…).

January 2023 – December 2023

Data Scientist

Viettel Big Data Analytics Center

Built recommendation systems (collaborative filtering, content-based, REC-VAE for TV360) and developed ETL pipelines with Pentaho and PySpark for large-scale data processing.

January 2022 – January 2023

Data Scientist

Kratos Defense and Security Solutions

Focused on time series analysis, conducting motif discovery, anomaly detection, and time series summarization using Matrix Profile techniques.

September 2019 – September 2022

Research Assistant

INSA Toulouse

Applied advanced ML (SVM, Random Forest, Neural Networks) and deep learning techniques (Autoencoders, GANs) for anomaly detection and conducted signal processing research.
