Eval-Driven RAG for Technical Documents

Built an independent RAG evaluation prototype with 12 synthetic-adversarial documents, 22 labeled queries, and three lexical retrieval baselines, separating retrieval scoring from deterministic answer evaluation.

Engineering practice, research depth.

My applied industry work overlapped doctoral research in physics. That combination informs how I build: define the problem carefully, make experiments reproducible, and keep evaluation separate from assumptions.

At TripleTen, my work included technical mentorship, data-science project review, and actionable feedback. Explaining modeling choices and evaluating other people’s work are an important part of my engineering practice.

Machine Learning

Machine Learning Starts Before the Model

In production ML systems, the hardest part is often not the algorithm. It is making data, labels, and evaluation trustworthy enough for the model to matter.

Scientific Reasoning

Scientific Reasoning for Applied AI

Scientific training strengthens applied AI because it builds the habits that reliable ML systems depend on: questioning assumptions, isolating variables, and taking evidence seriously.
