About

I build interpretable evaluation for transformer-based video/image/text/tabular models — metrics, MLOps pipelines, and adversarial failure harnesses. PhD Concordia 2025; 12 papers (ICSE, IEEE TCC, ACM TOMM). What I do: • Scalable automated eval pipelines for visual / multimodal generative models — microservice architecture, OpenAPI contracts, deployed on Azure / GCP / AWS with regression testing, dashboards, and drift monitoring. (XAIport, ICSE 2024 A*) • Perceptual quality metrics for video transformers — faithfulness, monotonicity, temporal consistency. • Failure-case discovery + regression-defense harness, first joint spatio-temporal adversarial attack on video transformers. • 3D vision and evaluation; Gaussian Splatting reconstruction from phone video; metrics for geometric consistency. • Production multimodal AI in flight — vision encoders + LLM orchestration, cross-modal validation, hallucination-detection layers.
