I am a PhD candidate in AI and Machine Learning at New Jersey Institute of Technology, with a 4.0 GPA and a research focus on intelligent systems that bridge the gap between cutting-edge ML and real-world deployment.
My work spans probabilistic deep learning, agentic AI systems, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines. I have built and deployed end-to-end ML workflows on datasets exceeding 700,000 observations, achieving state-of-the-art results (R² = 0.986) through rigorous feature engineering and Bayesian hyperparameter optimization.
As the Entrepreneurial Lead of the NSF I-Corps SmartComfort startup (awarded $53,000), I combine deep technical expertise with product thinking — translating research into systems that solve real problems at scale.

Self-assessed proficiency across core AI/ML domains, grounded in academic research and applied project experience.
Probabilistic short-term load forecasting (Q10/Q50/Q90) using a novel QR-PatchTST architecture on CU-BEMS data. Designed a risk-aware supervisory controller acting on the Q90 upper bound.
Comprehensive multi-model pipeline (LSTM, CNN-LSTM, Transformer) with temporal feature engineering, Bayesian hyperparameter tuning, multi-horizon forecasting, and unsupervised anomaly detection.
Agentic AI pipeline for automated resume screening and candidate evaluation using multi-agent orchestration, RAG with ChromaDB, and LLM-based structured extraction via OpenRouter.
XGBoost-based ML model trained on 100,000+ ASHRAE Global Thermal Comfort Database II records. Outperforms traditional PMV models by 50%+. Manuscript submitted to Journal of Energy and Buildings.
Ensemble ML models (Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, Neural Networks) on 1,030 samples. Published in Infrastructures (MDPI), 2025.
Entrepreneurial Lead of an NSF I-Corps funded startup applying reinforcement learning and deep learning to optimize building energy efficiency and occupant thermal comfort in real time.
