About Me

I am an innovative AI and Data Engineer based in Denver, Colorado, specializing in developing cutting-edge AI systems and data solutions. With a deep expertise in Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI Agents, I create sophisticated, scalable systems that push the boundaries of what's possible in artificial intelligence and data processing.

My work focuses on leveraging the power of LLMs to build intelligent, autonomous systems capable of complex decision-making and problem-solving. Using frameworks like Langchain, I develop agentic AI systems that can perform end-to-end automation of intricate business processes, significantly enhancing efficiency and unlocking new capabilities.

I have a proven track record of architecting and implementing AI-driven knowledge systems, multimodal AI solutions, and advanced data pipelines. My expertise extends to developing background worker AI agents capable of handling entire tasks autonomously, such as customer support. I also specialize in creating robust ETL solutions and building data-driven web applications. By combining technical prowess with a strategic mindset, I deliver AI and data solutions that not only solve current challenges but also pave the way for future innovations.

Projects

Llama 3.2 1B Mango 🥭

Developed a fine-tuned version of the Llama 3.2 1B model, optimized for chain-of-thought reasoning. This model was trained 2x faster using Unsloth and Hugging Face's TRL library, incorporating techniques such as LoRA, QLoRA, and RoPE scaling. The model was trained on the SkunkworksAI/reasoning-0.01 dataset, containing 29.9k examples to improve step-by-step problem-solving abilities.

Reranked RAG over My Personal Website

Developed a Streamlit app showcasing a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system with reranking, designed to answer questions about me and my work based on my personal website content. Utilizes web scraping, LangChain, Cohere Rerank, Groq's LLM, and FAISS for efficient information retrieval and question answering.

Chain of Thought using Structured Output

Developed a front-end project demonstrating Chain of Thought reasoning using structured outputs with Mistral Nemo, an open-source LLM. The application streams different responses, allowing users to visualize the reasoning process in real-time. This project showcases advanced AI integration techniques and efficient use of smaller, open-source language models for complex reasoning tasks.

Structured Output with Multimodal Agents

Developed a system for generating structured output using multimodal agents, showcasing advanced AI integration and task routing capabilities.
