Experience

AI Engineer Intern, Feature Lead (COA Pipeline)

PM Accelerator, Attuned AIRemote, USAinternshipJun 2026 – Aug 2026

Summary

Promoted to feature lead mid-internship; owned retrieval architecture end-to-end and coordinated two engineers' parallel workstreams to deliver the COA AI pipeline by Demo Day. Built a hybrid RAG retrieval system combining keyword search with OpenAI text-embedding-3-small embeddings and pgvector cosine similarity over a 30-scenario knowledge base, with automatic fallback logic. Designed and shipped an LLM extraction API producing structured JSON across 29 behavior codes and 65+ trigger categories using Next.js/TypeScript and Groq/OpenAI. Built a 100-case evaluation harness achieving ≥92% behavior-code accuracy, 100% safety-escalation recall, and <5% false-confidence rate; resolved production blockers across PostgreSQL RLS/RPC and Docker/Supabase.

What I did

  • Built a 100-case evaluation harness to formalize the evaluation process.

Results

  • Achieved ≥92% behavior-code accuracy in a 100-case evaluation harness.
  • Achieved 100% safety-escalation recall.
  • Maintained <5% false-confidence rate.
  • Delivered the COA AI pipeline by Demo Day.

AI/ML Developer Intern

OlloRemote, Toronto, CanadainternshipSep 2025 – 2026

Summary

Built a real-time speech-analysis pipeline using Hugging Face Whisper, FastAPI, and JavaScript for filler-word detection and live inference visualization, owning model integration, API design, and production-level prototyping.

What I did

  • Owned model integration, API design, and production-level prototyping.
  • Implemented transcript-based filler-word detection for disfluencies like "um" and "uh" using post-processing.
