Project 990

Jan 2026 - Present

LLMs · HPC · Slurm · Mistral-7B · Python

AI Engineer

Project 990 is a nonprofit working in philanthropy, where the problem was classifying organizations by their purpose. With no reliable mission text to classify from, generating it had to come first - and the same output feeds downstream analytics.

  • Designed and deployed a 3-stage LLM pipeline on HPC using Mistral-7B for generation and Gemma-7B for evaluation across 175,000+ nonprofits.
  • Built a fallback architecture integrating organization descriptions and grant-purpose data, raising mission-statement coverage from 50% to 93.5% across 163,700+ organizations.
  • Productionized the pipeline with Slurm job scheduling, fault-tolerant checkpointing, and a config/model-agnostic design for end-to-end automated execution.

Calculus · Statistics · Problem Solving

Mathematics Tutor

  • Tutored undergraduates across core mathematics courses, adapting explanations to each student's way of thinking.

Indiana University

Jun 2025 - Dec 2025

Reinforcement Learning · MARL · Stable-Baselines3 · RLlib · PyTorch

Research Assistant - AI in Cybersecurity

Research into how reinforcement learning agents hold up in CAGE Challenge 4 - a simulated environment for autonomous cyber defense, where agents detect and respond to intrusions across a network without a human in the loop.

  • Applied, trained, and evaluated RL algorithms from Stable-Baselines3 and RLlib in a multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) environment, CAGE Challenge 4.
  • Designed reward-shaping strategies with additional reward signals to improve agent behavior, stability, and threat-detection performance in simulated adversarial scenarios.
