   Sep 2024 — Present · Santa Clara, CA, US

   At Ushur, I build AI systems that bridge unstructured data with intelligent automation — from large-scale document extraction to real-time conversational agents. My focus has been on LLM-powered retrieval, agentic workflows, and HITL-backed validation pipelines. Key Projects & Contributions:Unstructured Data Extraction (Quote Intake / RFP):• Designed and deployed Agentic LLMs, VLMs, and OCR pipelines to extract structured insights from unstructured insurance and RFP documents.• Built a human-in-the-loop review system, ensuring accuracy and trust in high-stakes quoting workflows.• Led a customer-facing Data Scientist role, bridging client needs with advanced data-driven solutions while translating business requirements into actionable AI/ML deliverables.Ushur AI Agent Development:• Developed a real-time conversational AI agent capable of handling inbound calls and executing tasks via MCPs (Memory-Controlled Prompts).• Architected retrieval and reasoning workflows enabling autonomous task execution with minimal prompting.Retrieval Model for AI Agents -• Engineered a Retrieval Model for AI Agents from scratch with a novel in-context chunking strategy — boosting relevance across long-context queries.Research & Optimization:• Evaluation of LLMs with logit-based statistical methods, applying techniques like LLM-as-a-Judge, Rank Consistency, and Response Entropy to measure hallucination rates and factual grounding.• Engineered a novel in-context chunking strategy for retrieval models, boosting relevance across long-context queries.• Fine-tuned models for structured, prompt-free response generation using lightweight supervision and internal feedback loops.
