AI / LLM Projects

01
AI Job Search Agent
LangGraph · Pinecone · OpenAI · RAG
Built an agentic AI system that automates job discovery, semantic search, ranking, and summarization. Designed a retrieval-augmented pipeline that ingests job postings, generates embeddings, and recommends relevant opportunities. Reduced job research time by 60%.
02
Appliance Repair AI Assistant
LangGraph · Pinecone · OpenAI · Streamlit
Developed an AI-powered support assistant for troubleshooting appliance issues, retrieving repair documentation, and recommending replacement parts. Indexed 1,100+ parts and guides with a multi-tool RAG agent, built end-to-end in 48 hours.
03
Applied AI Workflow Routing & Role Matching System
Python · TF-IDF · Logistic Regression · XGBoost
Designed an AI-driven applicant intake system that analyzes backgrounds, classifies skills and interests, and recommends suitable opportunities through automated routing workflows. Evaluated using precision, recall, and macro F1.

Data Engineering & Infrastructure

04
US Census Demographic Analytics Platform
Snowflake · Cortex Agent · Text-to-SQL · SQL · Python · ETL
Built a cloud-based text-to-SQL analytics platform on Snowflake using U.S. Census data, powered by Cortex Agent for natural language querying over demographic datasets. Developed SQL transformation pipelines, dimensional data models, and Python ETL workflows to ingest, validate, and load millions of records, enabling conversational exploration of population, income, education, and geographic trends.
05
Satellite Data Processing Pipeline
Python · SQL · Spark · AWS · Docker
