Work experience
AI & Machine Learning Engineer
Smile IT Solutions (Advanced Consulting AWS Service Partner)
Jul 2025 - Present
1 year 4 months
– Architected an end-to-end POC automation system that ingests meeting transcripts and produces structured documents through a multi-stage LLM pipeline (Amazon Bedrock, LangChain) featuring RAG retrieval (FAISS), prompt engineering, and a hybrid validation layer combining LLM-based semantic verification with cosine similarity scoring — delivering 90% reduction in documentation time and 98% formatting accuracy. – Built a conversational AI travel assistant on AWS Bedrock Agent to deliver personalized flight recommendations based on user preferences (budget, timing), processing 500+ queries with 85% accuracy. – Deployed with comprehensive error handling and validation workflows ensuring response accuracy and system reliability. – Built the FastAPI backend and Streamlit interface for a dental diagnostic AI application, integrating existing PyTorch/YOLO models for 5 dental conditions. Studied and adapted the model code to optimize preprocessing and confidence thresholds, enabling reliable model serving and interactive front-end visualization. – Deployed services using Docker and AWS container services (ECR, ECS), implementing CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, ECR, ECS) and integrating serverless workflows with AWS Lambda, S3, IAM, CloudWatch, and Load Balancer to support scalable application operations. – Drove rapid experimentation and proof-of-concept (POC) initiatives, creating learn-fast frameworks to test hypotheses, validate AI/ML models, and identify high-impact opportunities aligned with business goals. – Provided AI thought leadership and mentorship, guiding new team members on LLM development, MLOps workflows, and data-driven strategy, ensuring alignment of AI initiatives with organizational objectives.
Data Scientist
Barnet Media
Jul 2024 - Sep 2024
3 months
– Extracted and prepared data from web sources using Python (Selenium) for sentiment analysis, transforming unstructured text into analysable datasets. – Manually labelled a subset of the dataset to create ground truth for supervised learning, then used ALBERT embeddings to predict labels for the remaining data, ensuring high-quality labeled data for training. – Built sentiment classification models using ensemble methods (Random Forest, XGBoost) and deep learning (LSTM), achieving strong accuracy on imbalanced text data through systematic evaluation. – Improved data quality by identifying and correcting mislabelled samples, reducing model bias and strengthening class representation across sentiment categories. – Integrated processed data into AWS pipelines (EC2, S3, Glue, Athena) for automated reporting and designed Power BI dashboards and KPIs to monitor performance and provide actionable business insights.
