MS in Applied Data Intelligence student at San José State University (2025–2027) specializing in Generative AI, LLM Fine-tuning, and Machine Learning Model Development. I architect intelligent systems that combine cutting-edge AI capabilities with production-grade software engineering—from fine-tuning large language models and training deep learning networks to building agentic workflows and distributed architectures.
My expertise spans the full machine learning lifecycle: designing and training neural networks from scratch, fine-tuning foundation models for domain-specific tasks, architecting LLM-based agentic systems with LangChain and LangGraph, and deploying scalable microservices. With professional experience as a Software Development Engineer at HP Inc., I bring hands-on knowledge in building production AI systems, distributed data pipelines, and intelligent automation solutions.
