What I'm looking for

I’m looking to develop production-grade AI agents that automate research and support decisions—using reliable multi-agent/RAG systems. I want hands-on ownership, production-minded iteration, and the chance to ship automation that saves real time.

I’m a Ph.D. candidate in Applied Psychology with a background in analytical chemistry and data analysis, and I’ve taught myself to build LLM-based AI agents. I focus on turning messy research and workflows into reliable, automated systems.

In my projects, I designed a TODO-driven AI deep research agent with multi-agent orchestration, tool calling, and RAG pipelines—streaming outputs and persistent note-taking that cut manual research time by ~50%. I also built an n8n workflow for natural-language querying on Google Sheets using Gemini AI and a modular setup for generating clear data insights.

To make automation practical, I created a smart email assistant that monitors Gmail, uses real-time search, and generates time-aware replies with a RAG knowledge base for work schedules and after-hours rules. Before this, I worked as a high school chemistry teacher and completed research on perfluorinated compounds, contributing to peer-reviewed publications—so I bring both rigorous analysis and clear communication to every AI system I build.
