AI Software Engineer · Jan 2025 – Jun 2026 · Amherst, MA

Worked in a near forward-deployed role across a gene lab, a biotech lab, a photonics lab and the campus library’s resource office, building one multi-agent research framework re-pointed at each. Role-specialised agents (retrieval, analysis, synthesis) ran inside LangGraph graphs for branching and retries; each lab’s data came in through its own MCP server, so onboarding a new lab meant a new tool server, not new orchestration. Answers were retrieval-grounded, and retrieval strategies shipped only after winning feature-flagged benchmarks. The specifics differed lab to lab, but the underlying mechanism was common — each new lab went faster than the last.

UMass Amherst Mathematics & Statistics

Summer REU · Jun – Aug 2025 · Cambridge, MA

Analysed 22 years of U.S. tariff policy against trade flows and macro indicators (correlation, mutual information, Granger causality, random forests). Built a hybrid VMD-LSTM forecaster that beat LSTM, BiLSTM and GRU baselines by 27%; co-authored the resulting paper.
