I build production AI systems using LLMs, RAG, agents, and computer vision.
What I'm looking for
At TechTern, I build applied AI systems that improve reliability and speed: strict and soft RAG modes reduced LLM hallucinations by about 30%, and LoRA/QLoRA fine-tuning of LLaMA and Gemma improved response accuracy by 20% while reducing trainable parameters by more than 90%.
I've also delivered agentic chatbot workflows, real-time YOLO computer vision, AI SQL assistants, code-review tools, and IoT healthcare monitoring products. My M.Sc. in Data Science and IEEE-presented fire-detection research help me translate AI research into practical full-stack systems.
