Work History
TreeRoute
Technical Co-Founder
New York / Remote
- Won Google Build With AI Hackathon 2026 at NYU Tandon and continued development of the winning route-planning product into a production-ready AI application.
- Built a Gemini 2.5 Flash agent with tool-calling across 4 real-time APIs (Maps, Routes, Pollen, Weather) and integrated NYC tree census data for grounded recommendations.
- Led end-to-end AI product development, owning agent architecture, backend infrastructure, and production integration.
University of Delaware
Research Assistant
Newark, Delaware
- Developed and optimized a distance-aware GATv2 imputation pipeline in PyTorch Geometric for CMIP6 climate data, achieving 62% lower RMSE vs kriging (0.144K vs 0.378K) across 2,664 grid cells.
- Ran ablation experiments across 9 GATv2 architectures, narrowing the gap to GraphEM to 1% and identifying land-ocean features and multi-head attention as the most impactful design choices.
- Optimized GPU inference to reduce runtime from 3,745s to 1.06s per ensemble, enabling near-real-time climate reconstruction.
Bank CenterCredit
Machine Learning Engineer
Almaty, Kazakhstan
- Lifted 10–15% Gini and 5–10% KPI by owning end-to-end ML product delivery — scoping, feature engineering, training, validation, and production deployment of credit scoring systems.
- Cut 40–60% ML iteration time by building an automated pipeline (Python, SQL, LightGBM, SHAP, Airflow) from raw data to monitored production models.
- Shipped a multi-agent LangChain system with tool-augmented retrieval that reduced call center knowledge lookup time by 30–50%; deployed as an internal product used daily by staff.
- Reduced 25–45% manual review time by productionizing an LLM document summarization agent over high-volume internal document flows.

- Built a decision tree model on 120K+ customer records to identify the top 5 drivers of churn, informing retention actions that reduced customer churn by 8%.
- Built customer profiling datasets in SQL by joining production tables and engineering segmentation features for targeted marketing campaigns.

What I've Built

TreeRoute
WebsiteHackathon Winner — Google Build With AI 2026
Allergy-aware walking route planner for New York City. Ranks routes by pollen exposure using NYC street tree census data, real-time weather/wind, and Gemini 2.5 Flash for natural-language explanations. Supports voice input and audio route summaries.
Knowledge Copilot
RAG system for PDF Q&A
Full-stack document intelligence platform. Upload PDFs, ask questions, get streamed answers with source citations and page references. Hybrid retrieval (vector search + BM25), analytics dashboard, and feedback loop for answer quality tracking.

AI Investment Advisor
WebsiteML + LLM financial planning system
Personalized investment strategy engine. Classifies risk profiles, detects market regimes via KMeans clustering, runs 10,000 Monte Carlo simulations for goal-probability estimates, and offers a LangGraph-powered AI copilot for follow-up questions.
