- Optimized model loading performance of TensorRT using NVIDIA GPUDirect- Achieved up to 2x performance loading models from 100MB to 20GB- Decreased CPU memory usage when loading models

- Helped research LLM performance when generating creative text. - Automated survey delivery for ~25 participants to streamline data annotation process.

Pasadena, California, United States

- Built an application implementing retrieval-assisted generation, allowing users to query Deep Space Network technical documentation using natural language. - Used FastAPI, Ray, and Haystack to deploy a LLM and database locally to JPL machines with limited hardware, reaching approximately 11 tokens per second on CPU.- Wrote a transformer-based model to predict climate data time series, projecting soil moisture using data from preceding 6 months. Learned about transformer architecture and optimization.

Los Angeles, California, United States

- Wrote a ML model in Pytorch using convolutional image analysis to estimate mortar content in aggregates (rocks & gravel in concrete). Achieved a classification accuracy of 85%.- Researched different approaches to maximize classification accuracy from a limited dataset of 300 images, including transfer learning and image augmentation.
