ML / Data Engineer · building RAG systems, serving LLMs, data pipelines, and poking at what's inside LLMs
MS CS @ UT Dallas (May 2026) · Dallas, TX
- 🧑💻 Full-Stack Developer (volunteer) on Saayam For All's GenAI team, building Python microservices on AWS EKS with Kafka
- 💸 Shipped Downshift, an open-source CLI + GitHub Action on PyPI that finds which LLM calls can safely move to cheaper models
- 🔍 Digging into mechanistic interpretability: trained an SAE on GPT-2-small and built a live safety monitor from it
- 🛠️ Shipped a RAG evaluation tool at an OpenAI hackathon (Build Week)
- 💼 Past experience across ML at DRDO (LiDAR-camera perception for an autonomous ground vehicle), real-time CV on edge devices at MIT-WPU × Capgemini, and TA'ing DSA at UT Dallas
- 🎓 MS in Computer Science from UT Dallas, open to full-time ML / Data / Software Engineering roles

Downshift · live demo · PyPI Cuts LLM costs per PR. Finds every OpenAI and Anthropic call in a Python repo via AST analysis, tests cheaper models against evals written for each call site (181 cases), recommends the safe downgrades, and posts the projected monthly cost change on every pull request. On the demo app, 3 of 8 call sites downgraded for an 18% projected saving with pass rate held steady. On mem0 and OrchestrAI, the agent audit surfaced up to 7.6x more projected spend than static analysis alone.

ActivationLens Mechanistic interpretability on GPT-2-small: trained a sparse autoencoder on the layer-6 residual stream, cut dead-feature collapse from 52-82% to 0.77%, then built a live per-token safety monitor (0.758 AUROC, 91.6% recall) with a one-pass kernel that trimmed monitoring overhead 6x (4.12% to 0.66%).

OpenAI Build Week GPT-5.6-powered tool that scores, diagnoses, and auto-tunes RAG pipeline outputs, built with Codex during OpenAI's Build Week hackathon.

DocumentSync AI RAG Q&A with Qwen2.5-7B self-hosted on vLLM on GKE (NVIDIA L4). Continuous batching scaled throughput 17x, FP8 cut p95 latency 38% with no accuracy loss, and RAGAS evals across 4 chunking strategies lifted context precision 59% and recall 3.6x.

Real-Time Crypto Streaming Pipeline Streams live market data via Kafka + Spark Structured Streaming into a Redshift star schema, orchestrated with Airflow. Ran 72 hours continuously landing ~468K records, with dead-letter routing and alerts within 5 minutes; cut Athena bytes scanned by 89%.
