What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build practical machine learning and AI systems, especially in data science, NLP, retrieval-augmented generation, and applied research environments.

I'm building machine learning pipelines at San Jose State University to predict mobility outcomes for Parkinson's patients from EEG data. I developed and benchmarked six model architectures, with a tuned bidirectional LSTM reducing prediction error by 22%.

I also built Handoff, a multi-agent enterprise knowledge transfer system that uses Azure AI Foundry, GPT-4o, Microsoft Graph, and semantic search to turn unstructured organizational data into structured onboarding artifacts.
