• 🏢 Previously at Kinaxis (2024–2025): Built enterprise copilots and autonomous multi-agent workflows with LangGraph on Azure OpenAI with human-in-the-loop review checkpoints.
• ⚡ Data Engineering & Performance: Engineered scalable pipelines on Databricks; migrated core batch data workloads from Pandas to Polars, slashing execution runtimes by ~75%.
• 🎓 Education: B.Eng. in Electrical Engineering (Carleton University) • Applied A.I. Solution Development (George Brown College).
• 📜 Certifications: Microsoft Certified: Azure AI Engineer Associate • AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate.

• ML & Agentic Systems: PyTorch, LangGraph (Multi-Agent Workflows), Hugging Face (TRL, Transformers), LightGBM, XGBoost, BGE-M3 & Cross-Encoders, GRPO / Post-Training
• Data & Knowledge Graphs: Polars, Databricks, PySpark, Qdrant (Dense Vector DB), Neo4j (Knowledge Graphs), PostgreSQL, SQLite, Kafka, Redis
• Cloud & Production: Microsoft Azure, AWS, FastAPI, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD & GitHub Actions, Odoo 17 ORM & OWL JS

• GraphRAG Aero
  Multilingual question answering over 77k chunks of Canadian aviation safety reports (English, French, Chinese). Combines BGE-M3 dense retrieval in Qdrant with cross-encoder reranking, Neo4j graph entity traversal, and a LangGraph human-in-the-loop review agent backed by FastAPI and Gradio.

• Odoo ML Restock Forecast
  Production Odoo 17 module training LightGBM regressors on historical sales order series and writing 7-day demand forecasts directly into native inventory reordering rules (stock.warehouse.orderpoint). Includes an interactive OWL dashboard embedded in Odoo Inventory.

• Hugging Face Cookbook Contribution
  Contributed engineering fixes to the vision-language GRPO (Group Relative Policy Optimization) recipe for modern TRL: conversational chat templating, reward function alignment, and pinned stable dependencies.

• LaunchpadHero
  A Guitar Hero-style rhythm game for physical Novation Launchpad MIDI controllers, converting real-time MIDI input streams into synchronized audio-visual gameplay.
