Sacramento, California, United States
I’m a Statistics and Data Science graduate from UC Santa Barbara with hands-on experience building production-grade data and AI systems. I’ve designed and automated ETL pipelines, data warehouses, and AI-powered applications, transforming large-scale raw data into reliable, actionable insights and personalized recommendations. Skilled in Python, SQL, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, AWS, and modern GenAI frameworks, I’ve built Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems, hybrid search pipelines using embeddings and vector databases, and multi-agent workflows with LangChain and LangGraph. My project experience spans predictive modeling, AI-driven image analysis, semantic search, and cloud-deployed backend services. I thrive in collaborative, cross-functional teams and have demonstrated leadership through mentoring students, co-leading projects, and coordinating multi-disciplinary development efforts. I’m passionate about applying data engineering and AI solutions to real-world problems and contributing to scalable, high-impact systems.
