  • With a senior colleague reviewing the change, built a Python RAG service over permission-filtered support documents. Compared retrieval depth and prompt engineering variants using fixed answer and citation tests; selected the configuration that resolved untraceable citations without exposing restricted documents.
  • Within an assigned workstream, added automated testing to CI/CD for refusal behavior, citation validity, and prompt injection; connected monitoring to the same failure categories so a fluent but unsupported answer could block a release.
  • With a senior colleague reviewing the change, deployed the Python service as a versioned Docker image on AWS ECS, with scoped IAM access to source documents. Validated health checks and rollback against the previous image; released the service only after citation and permission tests passed.
  • Within the assigned scope, built an evaluation set separating retrieval errors from unsupported answers, checked document permissions before retrieval, and recorded citation accuracy alongside latency and token cost.
  • Within the assigned scope, owned a RAG evaluation using synthetic clinical questions and Python fixtures, resolved unsupported citations and completed human review before a limited demonstration.
  • Within the assigned scope, built automated testing for prompt versions using Docker and CI/CD, reduced repeated citation failures by 34% on the held-out fixture and published observability checks.

AI Engineer Project Contributor

Mar 2024 - Jun 2025

  • The team added approval gates and idempotency keys to an agent tool workflow that updates customer records, with a replayable audit log; my scope was data preparation, quality checks, and follow-up documentation under senior review. The team prevented a retried tool call from creating duplicate customer updates; documented my assigned work separately from the team result and confirmed it with a senior colleague.
  • Within the assigned scope, investigated a discrepancy between a published metric and its source records, traced the transformation that changed the population, and corrected the calculation with a reproducible query.
  • Within the assigned scope, compared the last successful data refresh with a failed run, separated missing source data from transformation errors, and reran only the affected interval. Kept the original query and corrected result together for review.

  • Within the assigned scope, the team added monitoring for token usage and p95 latency by request type, then routed simple requests to a smaller model with an explicit fallback; my scope was data preparation, quality checks, and follow-up documentation under senior review
  • Generated synthetic source records with duplicates, late arrivals and corrected values; wrote assertions for row counts and key uniqueness, and recorded the expected effect of each case on the reported metric.
  • Compared the analytical output with a manually calculated reference table, traced differences to a transformation step, and retained a data dictionary and rerun instructions alongside the corrected query.
  • Owned the synthetic-data validation using a manually calculated reference, resolved duplicate-key inflation and completed a notebook that reproduces the corrected totals.
