Projects

Retail Forecast Airflow

A production-style ML forecasting pipeline for retail demand planning using Apache Airflow, StatsForecast, FastAPI, Streamlit, and Docker Compose. The platform handles preprocessing, scheduled model training, holdout evaluation, artifact promotion, API-based prediction, dashboard monitoring, and CI checks for reliable ML workflow delivery.

DocuMind AI

A document intelligence backend for multi-format file ingestion, chunking, vector indexing, hybrid vector/BM25 retrieval, and grounded answer generation with source chunks. Includes API-key protection, clean service-layer architecture, Docker support, tests, and production notes for scaling with managed vector databases, API gateways, PostgreSQL metadata storage, logging, and tracing.

QuantLoop

A Python-based quantitative research framework combining vectorized Polars preprocessing with an event-driven execution engine for realistic strategy backtesting. Supports technical indicators, multi-asset portfolios, margin, commissions, short selling, position sizing, walk-forward analysis, Monte Carlo testing, optimization workflows, and AMM-aware DeFi execution.

    Database Engineer

I'm a software engineer with an MS in Computer Science from NYU, focused on backend systems, data pipelines, and applied AI/ML. My experience spans production-scale services, reproducible research workflows, and machine learning models, with a strong emphasis on reliability, efficiency, and measurable impact. I enjoy building intelligent systems that are not just experimental, but scalable, maintainable, and ready for real-world use.
