Contract Software Engineer

Global Healthcare Exchange (GHX)

Contracted to lead development of an AI-driven system combining rule-based logic and LLMs for medical product matching.

• Built a hybrid Prolog + LLM product matching system to reduce manual review by over 25 hours/week.
• Designed and maintained Python APIs for real-time processing with SQL, Prolog, and OpenAI models.
• Deployed the system on AWS EC2 using Docker and CI/CD pipelines with secure modular architecture.

AI-Powered Summarizer (HackCU11)

Built a real-time lecture summarizer using Flask, OpenAI Whisper, and GPT-4 in 24 hours during HackCU11.

• Achieved 95%+ transcription and summarization accuracy.
• Processed 25MB+ audio/video files in <10 seconds.
• Engineered robust backend pipelines and UI for note review.

AWS DeepRacer Autonomous Vehicle

Designed an autonomous vehicle using Raspberry Pi, LiDAR, ROS2, and camera modules for local edge-compute driving.

• Boosted localization by 80% using EKF and optical flow fusion.
• Implemented PID and MPC controllers to cut trajectory deviation by 60%.
• Achieved smooth lap performance and control stability.

Machine Learning for Disaster Relief in Python

To use historical disaster data from the EM-DAT database to predict at-risk regions and optimize disaster relief resource allocation. The project focused on analyzing disaster types, severity, and their impacts to guide data-driven decision-making.

• Built ML models (Random Forest, SVM, Gradient Boosting) to predict disaster severity with up to 69% accuracy.
• Developed an end-to-end ETL pipeline with imputation, feature engineering, and class balancing; led model evaluation and comparative analysis across disaster types for resource allocation.

STM32 Board Project in C++

Developed a Tic-Tac-Toe game on the STM32F429i Discovery Board, integrating peripherals via HAL, external interrupts, and timers.

• Designed an intuitive user interface for the game.
• Created an AI opponent with RNG-based logic.
• Optimized the system using STM32CubeIDE.
