Machine Learning & AI Researcher

Building intelligent systems — from deep learning and LLMs to generative AI and explainable models

I'm a Machine Learning researcher and Data Scientist specializing in deep learning, NLP, large language models (LLMs), and generative AI. My work spans the full ML lifecycle — from transformer architecture design and LLM fine-tuning, to RAG pipelines, agentic AI (LangGraph), and explainable AI — with real-world impact in healthcare and energy systems.

I pursue a Ph.D. in Computer Engineering at Western University, teach 15 graduate-level Deep Learning courses at Fanshawe College, and conduct applied research at the London Health Sciences Centre on 180K+ EHR records. Recipient of the Danny Ho Software Engineering Scholarship ($10,000, 2025) and the Graduate Scholarship in Engineering and Science ($1,000, 2026) — among the most competitive awards in the Faculty of Engineering.
