Degree and roles on one axis rather than two separate lists. The overlap is the point: the coursework and the paid work happen at the same time.
Education
Roles
- Worked with PhD students assessing medical Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems for accuracy and reliability.
- Built and ran benchmarking workflows through SCT-Bench and a PubMed-based medical corpus from Hugging Face.
- Executed large-scale benchmarking jobs for medical RAG systems on WPI's Turing ARC cluster with Slurm.
- Tailored and validated 200+ complex mathematical and logic-based prompts to benchmark LLM reasoning capabilities.
- Carried out in-depth assessments of AI technologies to ensure efficiency and user satisfaction.
- Collaborated with teams of AI trainers to maintain quality standards across training datasets.
- Developed user stories and end-to-end stakeholder analysis of the Appalachian Mountain Club.
- Facilitated guided interviews and meetings with stakeholders at every level, from executive leadership through to staff and customers.
- Collaborated within a fast-moving Agile environment with strict report and deliverable deadlines.

Skills
Rows are skills, columns are the projects on this site. A filled cell means that project's stack, methods, or domains genuinely include that skill, cross-referenced from the same frontmatter that drives the case studies rather than self-rated. Only skills a project here actually evidences get a row; the rest are listed under the table.
