about

I build machine learning systems end to end, from deep learning research to deployed applications.

I'm a recent MSc Artificial Intelligence graduate from De Montfort University. My work covers deep learning for biomedical signals such as EEG and ECG, using CNNs, LSTMs and graph neural networks. It also covers LLM fine-tuning, retrieval-augmented generation and multi-agent systems, as well as efficient inference on edge hardware. I take models from experiment to product with PyTorch, FastAPI, Docker and MLflow, and I've published three peer-reviewed papers in clinical AI. I'm looking for an AI/ML Engineer role building machine learning solutions for real-world problems.

Fine-Tuned Small LLM for Multi-Hop RAG

  • LoRA fine-tuned Qwen3-1.7B: exact match 10.4 → 58.4 on HotpotQA, matching a 4.7× larger Qwen3-8B with ~5× smaller weights at ~8× the throughput.
  • Hybrid retrieval (BM25 + FAISS, reranking) with multi-hop search: evidence recall 54% → 89%, with citations and abstention.
  • MCP server with typed tools and OpenTelemetry tracing; tool-use fine-tuned LangGraph agent (+19.7 F1).

Multimodal RAG Application

  • Bilingual (Bangla & English) RAG over PDFs, scans, Office files and images, with Tesseract OCR, answering in the user’s language with page-level citations.
  • Hybrid retrieval: BM25 plus multilingual-e5 embeddings in FAISS, merged with reciprocal rank fusion, in per-session document stores.
  • LLM-routed web search: the model decides when fresh information is needed, rewrites the query and sizes the Tavily search. Streams answers from Gemini or Groq (gpt-oss-20b) via FastAPI + Streamlit.
