Selected AI Projects

RAGnosis

Case study

Eight-run RAG benchmark over a synthetic clinical dataset containing 1,200 patients, 2,200 appointments, and 30 evaluation questions. Evaluated query rewriting, small-to-big retrieval, aggregate rollup documents, and BGE and Jina reranking; retrieval MRR increased from 0.406 to 0.792 and the best documented answer-quality score reached 4.622/5.

Stack: Python, Chroma, Ollama, Hugging Face, OpenAI-compatible embeddings, BGE Reranker, Jina Reranker

Pretendo

Case study

Deployed LLM routing application with a Next.js client, FastAPI service, OpenRouter integration, Pydantic validation, backend-owned prompts, provider timeouts, browser SQLite persistence, analytics, automated checks, and Vercel deployment.

Stack: Next.js, React, TypeScript, FastAPI, Pydantic, OpenRouter, sql.js, Vercel

Zyra

Local multimodal plant-care assistant with image understanding, speech input and output, GGUF inference, and optional botanical-data lookup.

Stack: Python, Gradio, llama.cpp, Gemma GGUF, Whisper, Kokoro TTS

DataAlchemy

Local-LLM workflow that converts a dataset brief into related schemas and downloadable CSV, JSON, and Markdown data for prototypes, RAG demonstrations, and evaluation workflows.

Stack: Python, Gradio, Ollama, Faker, OpenAI-compatible APIs

Professional Experience

Applied LLM Projects

Independent AI Engineer

Remote | Jun 2026 to Present

  • Designed and implemented RAGnosis, an eight-run RAG benchmark over a synthetic clinical dataset containing 1,200 patients, 2,200 appointments, and 30 evaluation questions, improving retrieval MRR from 0.406 to 0.792 across the tracked experiment.
  • Evaluated query rewriting, small-to-big retrieval, aggregate rollup documents, and BGE and Jina reranking through reproducible Python pipelines, archived configurations, and an interactive report.
  • Reached a best documented answer-quality score of 4.622 out of 5; documented synthetic data, a limited evaluation set, one run per configuration, best-of-N selection, and LLM-based judging as study limitations.
  • Built and deployed Pretendo, a Next.js and FastAPI LLM application using OpenRouter model routing, Pydantic validation, backend-owned prompts, provider timeouts, browser SQLite persistence, analytics, automated checks, and Vercel deployment.
  • Built additional local multimodal and synthetic-data workflows using Gemma GGUF, llama.cpp, Whisper, Kokoro TTS, Ollama, Gradio, and Faker.

Technologies: Python, FastAPI, Pydantic, RAG, Chroma, Ollama, Hugging Face, OpenRouter, Next.js, React, TypeScript, Gradio, llama.cpp.
