Paris, France
Spearheaded the development of a health and wellness application that analyzes user behavior data to deliver personalized, AI-driven recommendations. Designed and implemented all machine learning components, agentic AI systems, and the complete frontend, integrating RESTful APIs for seamless data exchange between frontend and ML backend.
Built a production-grade, end-to-end video compliance auditing platform for government healthcare agencies using Azure, LangGraph, RAG, and GPT-4 to automatically analyze healthcare-related YouTube videos and generate real-time, structured compliance intelligence reports.
Built a full end-to-end Retriever-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline to enhance the personalization and contextual relevance of AI responses, incorporating unit and integration tests to maintain 95% code coverage and ensure robust system reliability.
Designed and deployed an agentic AI system to automate user demand fulfillment in the application's beta release, utilizing GitHub Actions for automated CI/CD workflows to enable frequent, high-quality releases.
Fine-tuned a large language model using Gradient-based Representation Optimization (GRPO) and advanced prompt engineering techniques (including DSPy for dynamic prompt optimization) to enhance its reasoning capabilities, improving EHR-to-clinical trial matching accuracy by 70% over the base model. Achieved efficient distributed training by leveraging multiple GPUs via data parallelism and model sharding techniques.
Optimized large-scale AI deployments on Microsoft Azure, integrating monitoring and observability frameworks to ensure 99.9% system uptime and achieving a 20% reduction in operational costs, while conducting end-to-end testing to validate cross-system integrations.
