things i have done

scotiabank - ml engineer intern sept 2025 - may 2026

built an llm-as-a-judge eval and red-teaming framework (python, langchain, vertex ai). in-house eval cycle went from over a week to 50 minutes across 1000+ examples. (this is not a typo)

also: spark + airflow etl pipelines on gcp (60% faster processing), and a powerbi/excel dax to bigquery migration (40% faster loads). the data team sleeps better now.

durham employment & newcomer centre - it administrator summers 2024 & 2025

shipped a production rag chatbot, fully self-hosted and open source, because the data was not allowed to leave the building. also the unglamorous stuff: devices, routers, security systems. everything stayed up.

stuff i built

llm from scratch python / pytorch / cuda

tokenizer, dataloader, attention, training loop, all hand-rolled, no pre-built shortcuts. it talks. sort of.

agentic schedule assistant openai agents sdk / mcp

an agent with a custom mcp server, so a model can actually manage my calendar better than I can.

eurotravel angular / node / aws

destination search for europe trips. (angular, cloudflare).
