Summary

Cadie | AI Risk Intelligence | Website

What I did

  • Engineered hybrid RAG combining pgvector similarity search, PostgreSQL full-text search and reciprocal rank fusion, grounding AI answers in authorized governance, risk and compliance evidence with citations.
  • Centralized AWS Bedrock inference and streaming with structured-output validation, bounded repair, tenant token budgets and usage accounting; implemented persona-based golden-answer evaluation.
  • Implemented Cognito JWT authentication and enforced PostgreSQL row-level security for tenant isolation; built event-driven ingestion and background processing with ECS/Fargate, S3, SQS and EventBridge.
  • Implemented a hybrid retrieval pipeline using pgvector semantic search and PostgreSQL full-text search with Reciprocal Rank Fusion.
  • Developed an LLM orchestration layer to manage retries, timeouts, idempotency, and structured-output validation.

Results

  • Centralized AWS Bedrock calls behind an LLM orchestration layer to handle token estimation, pricing, tenant-level usage limits, and usage reconciliation.
  • Implemented tenant token budgets and usage accounting to prevent unbounded model consumption and attribute usage back to tenants.

Clinical AI Infrastructure | Website

What I did

  • Migrated an existing clinical AI assistant to Azure across API, worker, frontend and storage; integrated AI Foundry routing, managed identity and CI/CD with isolated Azure/Fly.io configurations.
  • Hardened hospital access by deriving hospital context from authenticated sessions and preventing public signup from granting organization or hospital administrator privileges.
  • Developed a production application used by a Norwegian healthcare center.

A Multi-Tenant AI Risk Intelligence Platform featuring a hybrid RAG pipeline and centralized LLM orchestration.

Biomechanical Analysis of the Patterson-Gimlin Film

personal
Used computer vision to analyze gait and joint movement from the Patterson-Gimlin film. Found that the subject showed a more flexed knee and hip pattern compared with human walking references.
