ML Engineer &
Data Scientist

I don't just build models — I ship ML systems. My work spans the full stack: statistical research through model training, containerized deployment, REST APIs, and CI/CD automation on AWS.

Currently an M.S. student in Data Science & AI at the University of Central Missouri with a perfect 4.0 GPA, I spend my time building production RAG pipelines, multimodal deep learning systems, and real-time fraud detection APIs you can actually hit with a curl command.

I'm looking for full-time & internship roles in Data Science, ML Engineering, or Applied AI in the United States — available immediately.

Featured · RAG + LLM Pipeline

arXiv RAG — Semantic Research Q&A System

Production-structured RAG pipeline answering questions about 150 machine learning research papers. Empirically compares BGE, MPNet, MiniLM embeddings vs BM25 sparse baseline across chunk sizes (256–1024 tokens) and generation quality metrics. BGE excels at retrieval (MRR@5 0.990, Precision@5 0.950) and generation (Answer Relevance 0.912, Faithfulness 0.989).

🎭 Deep Learning · Multimodal Fusion

Multimodal Emotion Recognition via Cross-Modal Transformers

Fuses text (BERT), audio (Wav2Vec2), and video (ViT) using a custom 4-layer Transformer Encoder (8 attention heads) for 7-class emotion classification on MELD. Mixed-precision AMP training, staged fine-tuning, cached tensor preprocessing, and class-weighted loss for minority emotion handling.

US COVID-19 Mortality Intelligence & Forecasting System

End-to-end epidemiological forecasting: live JHU data ingestion → preprocessing → feature engineering → multi-model benchmarking (SARIMAX, Prophet, XGBoost) → interactive Plotly Dash dashboard with 30-day forecasts and 95% CI bands. Seasonal SARIMAX(1,1,1)(1,1,1,7) wins with Holdout MAE 138.14 ≈ CV MAE 137.86 — near-zero overfitting confirmed across 5-fold rolling cross-validation.
