Technical Experience
- •Benchmarked local search heuristics (LNS, VNS, LKH-3) for the Traveling Salesman Problem with Time Windows (TSPTW) instances enforcing strict computational budgets to ensure algorithmic fairness.
- •Implemented a sequential strategy to transfer solution states between tasks, statistically validating efficiency gains over isolated execution.
- •Optimizing an Evolutionary Algorithm to outperform these local search benchmarks, targeting superior solution quality and success ratios in highly constrained search spaces.
- •Contributed to fine-tuning Vision-and-Language foundation models by refining the synthetic data generation pipeline in NVIDIA Isaac Sim.
- •Enhanced existing trajectory algorithms to eliminate path instability, producing 500 high-fidelity video sequences used as ground-truth training data.
- •Engineered a full-stack LLM-powered analytics platform for NRC Health, enabling enterprise users to extract custom data insights through natural language queries.
- •Implemented production-ready data-to-text pipelines and prompt engineering strategies, automating report generation to significantly streamline workflows for non-technical stakeholders.

Projects
- •Engineered a full-stack spaced repetition platform, implementing a modified FSRS algorithm to mathematically optimize review intervals based on memory stability metrics.
- •Designed a confidence-based grading system that drives a custom decay formula, dynamically calibrating target retention probabilities to maximize study efficiency.
CS
- •Architected a production-ready web application, implementing a modular MVC architecture to decouple business logic, API routes, and data access layers.
- •Designed a scalable relational database schema (MySQL) and a custom Repository Pattern abstraction layer, optimizing complex join queries for real-time aggregation.
