Built end-to-end RAG systems using LangChain + Pinecone/ChromaDB for enterprise information retrieval, including hybrid search pipelines — applicable to intelligent document processing. Developed GPT-3/4-powered agentic workflows using LangChain and LangGraph for multi-step reasoning; deployed via clean REST APIs for cross-functional engineering integration. Designed a RAG-based search system with custom embeddings in a microservices architecture — full model training, evaluation, and bias reduction cycles. LSTM + clustering hybrid model on Parquet/CSV financial datasets — 22% improvement over ARIMA baseline; NumPy/Pandas feature engineering with statistical preprocessing, directly applicable to quantitative finance use cases. Engineered a GPT-powered AI chatbot ( +50% client engagement ); custom text embedding models integrated with vector databases for semantic search over unstructured data. Developed custom text embedding models and integrated them with vector databases to power semantic search and retrieval capabilities for unstructured text data.
