• Achieved 93% accuracy on vertebrae segmentation and lesion detection by co-developing a CNN pipeline combining MedSAM3 for segmentation and YOLOv8 for detection, trained on 65,000+ CT images.
• Reduced radiologist data prep time by 35% across active clinical trials by building segmentation and preprocessing pipelines, directly accelerating oncology research throughput.

• Built RAG pipeline using PineconeDB with hybrid BM25 + dense embeddings; 80%+ PDS3 filter prediction accuracy across MSL archives.
• Processed and indexed 10,000+ MSL mission records across structured and unstructured PDS3 archives, enabling planetary scientists to query decades of Mars rover data through a natural language interface for the first time.

• Deployed real-time edge ML on IoT for pose estimation and object detection in military zones; built synthetic data + quantization pipeline for battlefield hardware evaluation.
• Engineered annotation workflows across 3,500+ synthetic and real-world battlefield frames, directly improving model reliability for soldier-deployed edge hardware under strict compute constraints.

• Deployed internal RAG chatbot (LangChain, PineconeDB, Docker) handling 5,000+ monthly employee queries on deployment processes and workflows.
• Eliminated 60% of manual onboarding overhead for engineering hires by replacing live CI/CD and architecture walkthroughs with a vector-search pipeline over internal NetApp docs.

AI-native CRM and marketing automation platform for realtors. Agentic inbox, campaign sequences, and LinkedIn/X marketing. Built Key Moments — a pg_cron-scheduled milestone engine that invokes Claude with pgvector RAG to generate personalized drafts, with approval-gated agentic writes and immutable per-event audit traces.

Agentic LLM multimodal query system over NASA's Planetary Data System (PDS) archives. Enables natural language queries over 10,000+ Mars Science Laboratory mission records. Co-authored with JPL Lead Data Scientist Dr. Emily Dunkel; published at ICMLA 2025.

AI-powered consulting case interview prep platform. Provides adaptive mock interviews with 7-dimension scoring and readiness dashboard for candidates targeting MBB/T2 firms like McKinsey, BCG, Bain.
