About
Applied AI engineer, eval-first.
I'm an AI/ML engineer with ~4 years of experience shipping LLM, retrieval, and agentic systems to production. Right now I'm an AI/ML engineer at Tip Top Technologies, where I redesigned a real-time ranking pipeline (NDCG@10 +15%, p95 120ms → <50ms) and built an embedding-based semantic retrieval system serving 2M+ queries a day.
My work runs the full stack of applied AI: RAG and hybrid search, multi-agent orchestration, and evaluation harnesses that actually catch hallucinations — much of it in healthcare, where correctness and HIPAA compliance are non-negotiable. I care about reproducibility and open weights: my projects are open-source and reproducible.
I hold an M.S. in Computer Science from Santa Clara University. Before that I built large-scale data and ML pipelines across search and life-sciences companies.

Experience
Where I've shipped.
AI/ML Engineer · Tip Top Technologies
Oct 2024 – Present · Sunnyvale, CA
- Redesigned the real-time recommendation ranking pipeline (retrieval + re-ranking) for News360, lifting NDCG@10 by 15% and cutting p95 latency from 120ms to under 50ms via profiling, caching, and serving optimizations.
- Built an embedding-based semantic retrieval system (FAISS + Pinecone) serving 2M+ queries/day with production monitoring, raising recall@100 by 12%.
- Shipped low-latency AI microservices on Kubernetes/AWS with CI/CD, observability, and reliability hooks.
- Building an agentic meeting copilot for COM360 — a voice interface backed by graph-based long-term memory, gated by explicit consent and guardrails.

- Built LLM evaluation pipelines benchmarking quality and latency across GPT-4o, Gemini, and AWS Bedrock models (Claude, Llama 3.1, Mistral) to inform production-readiness decisions.
- Automated data-validation workflows (schema, nulls, distributions) for ML pipelines, accelerating iteration ~40% and cutting cross-team syncs by ~6 hours/week.
- Added real-time monitoring and structured logging for model evaluation and deployment stability.

Projects
Things I've built.
Open-source and mostly AI-native. The featured projects power the live demos arriving on this site.

Chat with Yash
A retrieval-grounded agent that answers questions about my work — running on open-weight models behind a secured proxy.
Open-weight RAG · grounded in this site's content
Open-weight model + pgvector RAG through a rate-limited, bot-checked proxy. No API keys in the browser.
MCP agent
Explore any repo
Paste a public GitHub repo and a tool-using agent explores it over MCP — listing the tree, reading the README and key files — then explains what it does and how it's built. Its tool calls stream live.
Tool-using agent · real MCP tools over the GitHub API · public repos only
Read-only, single-repo tools through a rate-limited, bot-checked proxy. Repo contents are treated as untrusted data. No API keys in the browser.
Clinical eval
Score a note for hallucinations
Paste a synthetic clinical note. An extraction pass produces a structured, FHIR-ish summary (problems, medications, plan); a separate grounding pass labels every extracted claim grounded, partial, or unsupported and cites a span. Then code — not the model — verifies each span against the note and computes the score, so the number can't be gamed. The methodology is shown, not hidden.
Use synthetic data only — never real patient information (PHI). Your note is processed in memory and is not stored or logged by this site; it is sent to a model provider for processing only.
Two-pass eval · structured extraction + per-claim grounding · score computed in code
Runs through the same rate-limited, bot-checked proxy as the other demos. The note is treated as untrusted data, kept in memory only, and never logged or persisted. No API keys in the browser.
Agent Skills
Reusable Agent Skills
Two production-grade Anthropic Agent Skills (SKILL.md) that package the eval methods behind the demos above — runnable, spec-faithful, and MIT/Apache-licensed. Each is a faithful, standard-library-only Python port of real, shipped work.
Anthropic SKILL.md format — clone one into ~/.claude/skills/. Each runs its worked example and tests offline, with no API key. Browse the repo
