Hire me

AI/ML Engineer specialized in building high-accuracy agentic pipelines and real-time distributed systems. From reducing LLM prompt overhead by 72% at FlavorWiki to engineering a multi-stack copy-trading ecosystem, I focus on bridging the gap between complex statistical modeling and production-ready software.

Experience

AI/ML Engineer (FlavorWiki client project)

CodeBricks Globalwork2026 – Present

Summary

Integrated PLS regression and statistical analysis into the FlavorWiki agent; built preference mapping across 23 products with Q2 = 0.495 using three components. Built an automated survey-theme and aspect-sentiment pipeline with local lightweight models, achieving 93.7% accuracy in internal evaluation and replacing the data team's manual classification workflow, without external AI APIs or LLMs. Built a 41-rule validation pipeline for 7,500 survey rows across 25 products, integrating data-cleaning workflows into consumer sensory analytics. Integrated MapleRepair and SQLFluff-based SQL validation and repair into the agent workflow, alongside PostgreSQL-aware SQLGlot tooling for identifier, alias, and join errors. Prototyped context compaction that reduced initial agent prompt size by 72.1% while retaining instructions and SQL safeguards; documented the design for integration review.

What I did

  • Built an analytics agent that decomposed complex survey data research questions into controlled steps using a multi-node workflow.
  • Implemented a decision loop for SQL generation that included validation and automated repair steps before execution.
  • Integrated deterministic tools like SQLFluff and MapleRepair into the agentic workflow to handle formatting and join query repairs.
  • Built an NLP pipeline for analyzing open-ended customer responses using spaCy for noun-chunk extraction, lemmatization, and text preprocessing.
  • Generated embeddings and used agglomerative clustering and cosine similarity to discover recurring themes automatically.
  • Performed sentiment analysis at the theme level to identify specific positive or negative feedback points.
  • Integrated PLSR workflows into an agentic analytics system, enabling the agent to decide when to use the model and interpret results.

Results

  • Achieved 93.7% accuracy in internal evaluation for survey-theme and aspect-sentiment pipeline.
  • Reduced initial agent prompt size by 72.1% through context compaction prototyping.
  • Successfully replaced manual classification workflow for the data team.
