## Headline

Data Scientist at Astrikos AI

## About

AI/GenAI Engineer with 2\+ years building and shipping LLM\-powered, agentic systems in production — from RAG assistants to autonomous action layers with real device control\. I work end\-to\-end on GenAI systems: retrieval \(naive top\-k through hybrid dense \+ BM25 with cross\-encoder reranking\), tool\-calling agents, multi\-stage LLM orchestration, and — the part most people skip — rigorous evaluation of non\-deterministic output\. Some of what I've built: \- A conversational text\-to\-SQL RAG assistant scoring \~91% SQL match on a 1,473\-question eval suite \(\~1\.9s avg response\), with a self\-correcting, multi\-store FAISS retrieval layer\. \- An autonomous building\-automation action layer over 1,000\+ devices with gated, human\-reviewed cloud actuation — writable\-parameter allowlists, confidence\-based shadow→active promotion, and rollback\. \- A hybrid\-RAG document\-QA engine \(FAISS \+ BM25 \+ Reciprocal Rank Fusion \+ reranking\) with cite\-or\-refuse grounded answers\. \- A LangGraph state\-machine agent for document acquisition \+ structured extraction \(Gemini Vision \+ Groq\), containerized with Prometheus metrics\. \- An LLM distillation project fine\-tuning Qwen 2\.5 Coder 7B with QLoRA on BIRD\-SQL\. Toolkit: Python, LangChain, LangGraph, MCP, FAISS/Chroma/HNSW, Hugging Face, Groq, Google Gemini, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Docker, plus classical ML \(scikit\-learn, XGBoost, Prophet\)\.
