About Sophia Abbassi
A senior Electrical and Computer Engineering student at Rutgers University with hands on experience in deep learning, retrieval augmented generation systems, and embedded software. I have held engineering internships at NVIDIA and the U.S. Army at Picatinny Arsenal, working across both research driven and field focused environments.At NVIDIA, I worked on retrieval systems for RAG and large language models, comparing dense and web based approaches, building custom models, and developing Python tools and automation to track rapid changes across the AI ecosystem. This work helped evaluate NVIDIA technologies against external industry trends and supported product direction decisions.At Picatinny Arsenal, I contributed to software, robotics, and embedded systems projects, including reverse engineering undocumented hardware, analyzing network traffic using Wireshark and Linux tools, and integrating NVIDIA Jetson AI libraries into robotic platforms. I also developed C and C++ software, built Arduino based hardware emulators for testing, and designed JSON based communication protocols.I am interested in software engineering and applied machine learning roles focused on building practical, reliable systems with real world impact.
