ML Engineer / AI Engineer with 2+ years of industry experience across ML systems, NLP, and large-scale data pipelines. Currently a Staff Research Associate at UCSD's Swartz Center for Computational Neuroscience (SCCN), building training infrastructure on EEGDash and braindecode for electroencephalography (EEG) foundation models, validated through retraining and fine-tuning runs on Slurm high-performance computing (HPC). Also working with UCSD's Biomedical Image Analysis Group (BIAG) on a PyTorch/CUDA pipeline for medical image registration-error regression (Pearson r = 0.874 on 147 held-out volumes).

Previously, at Melio, I built production Vertex AI training pipelines that cut experiment turnaround by 20%. At Vayana Network, I built distributed PySpark pipelines processing 5M+ invoices a year, plus graph analytics that contributed to 15% revenue growth.

MS in Computer Science (AI) from UC San Diego. Recent projects include a dual-corpus RAG pipeline for earnings-call contradiction detection with hybrid retrieval and reranking (CrossCheck), an LLM agent evaluation study under adversarial/deceptive conditions across 4 architectures, and low-resource English-Maithili NMT with LoRA fine-tuning. Open to MLE, AI Engineer, Applied Scientist and Research Engineer roles.
