Experience
- Implemented novel skip-connection-based Mamba model to remove multi-head-attention-based retrieval performance decline in SSM architectures
- Analyzed State Space Models and Mamba-2 bottlenecks on knowledge retrieval benchmarks (MMLU)
- Engineered React web-app to simulate textual Markov Chain models for 900+ professionals; used in Concord University study (demo)
- Designed efficient algorithm for automated graph generation and n-gram estimation for low latency on large text datasets
- Devised novel compression algorithm yielding 2-24% more accuracy in 10% training time; awarded by NSA, ISEF, WAICY
- Leveraged high-descent-potential saddle points via Hessian approximation; tested on MLPs, CNNs, ResNets
- Project: SPRKD
- Architected first ML infrastructure for min latency and high server volume; devised novel drug vector embeddings
- Deployed few-shot LLM drug monograph summarization API and React app for in-clinic patient diagnosis
- Led team of 3; developed + deployed recommendation engine API to 45k clients
- Engineered hybrid GAN, Gradient Boosted Tree, MLP architectures for production
