What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation and allow me to leverage AI to solve real-world problems while working in a collaborative environment.

I am an AI engineer and product builder with three years of experience in creating end-to-end LLM systems. My journey has led me to launch Vance, an AI copilot that streamlines industrial machinery service and support. I have a proven ability to ship AI multimodal agents using Python, and I am proficient in various technologies including OpenAI APIs, LangChain, and HuggingFace Transformers.

Throughout my career, I have designed innovative solutions such as a Graph-based RAG pipeline that builds a heterogeneous knowledge graph from parsed OEM brochures and service manuals. My work has achieved significant results, including a 60-80% autonomous resolution of routine support cases and a 28% first-time-fix rate for enterprise pilots. I thrive on challenges and am passionate about leveraging AI to enhance operational efficiency.
