MS Data Science @ Columbia· Graduating Dec 2026 ✦ Scholar of the Arcane Data Arts · Columbia, Class of 2026 ✦

I build multi-agent LLM systems that do real work — and the evaluation, data pipelines, and guardrails that make them trustworthy in production. Summoner of agents, brewer of forecasts, and keeper of data pipelines. I bind language models into fellowships that answer questions, file tickets, and brew campaigns — with wards that keep them honest.

Agentic AIAgent Summoning

LangGraph supervisors, Google ADK, MCP tool use. Multi-agent pipelines with checkpoints, retries, and human-in-the-loop review.

ML & ForecastingDivination

Gradient boosting, time series, and statistical rigor. I care about the baseline you beat and how you know you beat it.

Data & PlatformsPotions & Pipelines

Scrapers to SAP, SQL to dashboards, FastAPI to Lambda and Cloud Run. The pieces that turn a notebook into something people use.

  1. Jun 2026 – Sep 2026 · New York

    AI/ML Engineer Intern @ Calix

    • Built a conversational infrastructure ticketing agent (Google ADK, Gemini 2.5 Pro, MCP) that resolves VM, storage, and network requests in Jira Service Management with a draft → review → confirm loop.
    • Developed a multi-agent LLM cost-analytics platform for 1,200+ developers, joining LiteLLM spend with org hierarchy and routing natural-language questions to specialist agents to track AI adoption.
    • Engineered backend APIs for an internal platform hosting 7+ agents: auth, agent routing, session management, and automatic Jira/Confluence token refresh.

    Data Scientist @ Anheuser-Busch InBev GCC

    • Replaced SARIMA with an XGBoost demand forecaster (lag + rolling features) at SKU × distributor level, taking MAPE from 28% → 11%.
    • Built Python scraping pipelines feeding SAP with 50,000+ records/day, cutting manual collection by 70%.
    • Led root-cause analysis with supply chain and ops teams: −18% stockouts, +12% on-time fulfillment.

    Data Science Intern @ Anheuser-Busch InBev GCC

    • Shipped three Power BI dashboards on automation KPIs and bot performance for 15 stakeholders.
    • Automated ingestion and transformation pipelines (SQL, Python, cloud), removing 60% of manual hours.

All three are live. Click through and try them.Each one still breathes. Go on — cast them yourself.

Multi-agent · ContentA Fellowship of Twelve Live ↗

BrandBuddy

One prompt in, a full Instagram + email campaign out. A 12-node LangGraph pipeline where a supervisor orchestrates trend discovery, generation, and publishing agents.

Rubric-based self-evaluation triggers automatic retries; checkpoints let a human step in without restarting the run.

LENS

An AI analyst for 10M+ retail records that returns citation-backed insights, charts, and recommendations instead of just a SQL result.

Beyond the résuméLore & Legend

How I work, and what I'm after next.The unwritten parts of the tale.

/now✦ Presently…

  • Final semester of the MS in Data Science at Columbia.
  • Looking for full-time AI/ML engineering roles starting early 2027: agentic systems, LLM platforms, applied ML.
  • Building more agent systems with honest evaluation built in.
a.

Measure before you believeTrust no prophecy unproven

Every system I ship has a baseline it has to beat: SARIMA for the forecaster, four model families for the RAG bot.

b.

Agents need guardrailsEvery summoning needs a ward

Draft → review → confirm. Rubric checks and retries. Checkpoints where a human can step in. Autonomy is earned.

c.

Ship it so people use itA spell uncast is no spell

Every project here has a URL. I'd rather put a working v1 in front of someone than polish a notebook.

d.

Talk to the people with the problemHeed the villagers

The 18% drop in stockouts came from sitting with supply chain and ops teams, not just from the model.
